Ghosts Under Glass: Impressions of Arlington Across Time explores Arlington not as a fixed place, but as an evolving emotional landscape shaped by reinvention, memory, and disappearance. Beginning with photography and transformed through AI and digital painting techniques, the images move beyond documentation to examine how contemporary urban life feels when experienced through atmosphere, repetition, and return.

Glass towers rise where older neighborhoods, diners, motels, and roadside landmarks once stood. Metro stations, apartment windows, shopping corridors, office plazas, rain-soaked streets, and quiet residential blocks become stages where isolation and connection exist side by side. Mid-century automobiles, neon signs, and traces of vanished architecture appear beside modern development, allowing multiple eras of Arlington to coexist within the same visual space.

Influenced by the cinematic solitude of Edward Hopper and the metaphysical stillness of Giorgio de Chirico, the work reflects on what remains beneath redevelopment: fragments of memory, lingering light, and the emotional residue of places transformed over time.
