Over four months, Brooks photographed transitional spaces across Europe: airport terminals at dawn, highway rest stops at midnight, hospital corridors in the afternoon light. Her images are characterized by their careful attention to the qualities of light and space that make these environments simultaneously familiar and uncanny.
The series deliberately excludes recognizable landmarks or signage, creating a typology of non-places that could exist anywhere in the modern world. This universality is central to Brooks's intent: to reveal the shared architectural language of transience that connects disparate cities and cultures.
Each photograph is printed at a large scale and presented without frames, mounted directly on the gallery walls at a height that places the viewer's eye at the center of the image, creating an immersive effect that mimics the experience of actually standing in these spaces.
The project received widespread critical attention for its meditative quality and its ability to find beauty and meaning in spaces that most people experience only as functional necessities.
