This project documents 2,976 hours in Europe through the format of an in-flight magazine—an object designed to be flipped through in the suspended moment before departure. It emerged from an intensely mobile four-month period marked by constant movement between cities, trains, and airports, where the condition of transit became more dominant than arrival itself.

The work investigates in-between spaces as a psychological and spatial condition. When individuals are framed within a controlled environment for a limited duration, emotions and behaviors become amplified. Transit, rather than functioning as a neutral passage, becomes a site of heightened awareness, anticipation, and distortion.

This project parodies the polished optimism of flight magazines while documenting what actually happens when movement pauses. It’s about waiting inside motion.

Everything is ON-GOING.
