Urban Traces is a project that began through city walks. I collected impressions of manhole covers — traces of urban infrastructure that often go unnoticed. These forms became a way to speak about the body and its relationship with the urban environment, about how memory and history are imprinted onto matter.
The project is in progress and consists of a series of prints of urban manhole covers (including eight completed and seventeen in process), each reflecting distinctive features of design or engineering systems, along with a map marking their exact coordinates and historical background.
