PILGRIMAGE

Across cultures and centuries, people have walked to places that hold meaning—sites shaped by ritual, grief, reverence, or the long memory of the land itself. A pilgrimage is not only a journey outward. It is a way of marking change within, of meeting landscapes that ask us to slow down, witness, and listen.

The sites gathered here span ancient monuments, burial grounds, contemporary memorials, and places where human experience and the living earth meet. Walking these places offers a way to learn directly from the land: how it holds history, how it carries loss, how it gestures toward renewal. Each journey becomes a study in thresholds, processions, stories held in stone and soil, and the ways people have shaped land to remember what matters.

These pilgrimages continue to inform my work—how I think about place, mourning, community, and the design of spaces meant for belonging and transformation. Each location includes a brief reflection and a gallery of images from my time there.
