I called this concept «ugly view», but the name itself carries a layer of irony, for the aesthetic it presents.

This art project embodies a duality, both captivating and protesting in nature. It draws its charm from the brutality, the deliberate carelessness and echo of past.

It's not an idealized image, but a raw and honest portrayal of my reality. Maybe one day you will come to this places and you will see its incredibly beautiful architecture, landscapes, you will eat extremely delicious food in aesthetic places. So don’t expect to see what you see now.
This project embraces acceptance and humility towards this harsh reality, seeking to emphasize aspects that one may wish to discard but can't, as they are rooted in our cultural identity and carry a feeling of familiarity. This fusion of attraction, critique, and preservation within the project creates a thought-provoking exploration of the complexities of our past and present.
