A classically captured archival photograph of the Croatian Home building's façade from 1910, divided into four fragments, served as a template for creating graphic prints using the screen printing technique. The color used in this process was obtained from the dust collected inside the building of the Croatian Home, thus creating a direct connection with the original place. Due to the unique material, these monochrome prints appear exceptionally bright, resembling 'ghosts' of the original photographic template and creating an ethereal visual impression. The original photograph was divided into four parts to achieve maximum magnification and a tangible relationship with the space.

The work was produced for the group exhibition Viepoints at the Croatian Home, Split, Croatia in 2024.
