In these images, Konits examines architecture as a holding environment that supports emotional and reflective thought, functioning as a container for the storage and recall of experience embedded in rooms, buildings, and the physical features that define natural boundaries. Approaching the threshold of a room, one is aware of being separate from it, but once inside, the room disappears from conscious awareness, as self and architecture merge.
This Room Will Survive Me invites readers to experience rooms inwardly and sense the slow flow of time and memory.
