“Last Seen”.

It is a world where our paths cross for a moment, a day, or sometimes, for a lifetime.

It is about the people we meet and greet, love or hate, connect with or despise, cherish or forget, privilege or exclude.

It is a life where we go through chapters we somehow begin or end; a life of communities we integrate or escape, societies we belong to or cast aside.

It is an ongoing journey where we all long for the unwritten pages of future connections, relations and encounters.

We may have crossed paths or we may have not. But we all share one constant:

People never truly leave. Only their role, status, substance and significance change.

They just remain in the memory, dated and classified as “Last Seen”.
