In this work, the territory is not an immobile backdrop, but the outcome of an ongoing negotiation between human needs, productive systems, and natural processes. The images reveal an ambiguous balance in which openness and constraint, protection and exposure coexist without reaching a definitive resolution.

The decision to restrict his gaze to a relatively small area also suggests that we do not need to travel far to discover something new. Unexpected meanings emerge through the repetition of familiar routes, attention to detail, and an intimate knowledge of places.

13 Miles thus invites us to consider the present as a time that is already generating memory. The traces we leave behind do not need to become ruins to tell the story of how we inhabit the world: they are already part of the landscape, often invisible precisely because they are so close to us. The project reminds us that the future, too, will read in these traces the structures of our society, its priorities, and its relationship with the environment.
