How does it feel to say goodbye every week — to separate again after closeness, to leave warmth behind and return to a cold, empty bed? This photograph is an attempt to hold that fragile moment in between: intimacy that knows it will soon dissolve, touch that lingers longer because of what follows. A quiet record of closeness shaped by absence.
