In Sicily, Georgia Hill slowed her pace to fully absorb Cretto di Burri and Gibellina’s sculptural landscape. Photographing concrete textures and architectural fragments allowed details to resonate over time. Her print collages illustrated references from the site, blending permanence and ephemerality. The composition reflects questions of distance, memory, and preservation. By layering observed patterns with expressive drawing, she captures a town shaped by history and reconstruction, translating site-specific experience into contemplative abstraction.

At The Holdout in Portugal, Tuyo embraced creative retreat and simple routines. Harvesting apples, running through orchards, and later exploring Lisbon’s tiles and markets shaped his imagery. The print merges sardines, folk motifs, and autumn harvest into a playful narrative composition. Rooted in tactile textures and bold forms, the work reflects gratitude for focused time and cultural immersion. It captures the joy of combining rural calm and urban vibrancy into a unified, story-like image.
