Transient Vistas delves into the intangible essence of places that are slipping away, either through human intervention or the relentless march of “progress.” Through a nuanced lens, we examine the landscapes that bear the weight of history, witnessing the layers of stories embedded in each terrain. This exhibition prompts reflection on the connections between individuals, their customs, and the environments they inhabit—a delicate ecosystem that can be cherished, obliterated, or simply overlooked.

Transient Vistas draws its name from the fleeting nature of the landscapes and traditions that shape our world. While remnants of this legacy endure in landmarks that stand as echoes of the past, the traditions they represent come and go like the changing seasons. These vistas are ephemeral, capturing the essence of moments that, though anchored in history, are always in flux, reminding us of the impermanence of cultural and natural landscapes.
