This project explores the cinematic nostalgia of the 1980s and 1990s within contemporary Toronto. Rather than documenting surviving architecture from those decades, I reinterpret their atmosphere through night landscapes across the Greater Toronto Area—Downtown Toronto, Scarborough, Vaughan, and Richmond Hill.

Shot on Cinestill 800 in 120 format with a Hasselblad medium format camera, the work embraces tungsten tones, vivid colour, pronounced grain, and the film’s distinctive halation glow to evoke a sense of temporal ambiguity.

By placing nostalgic aesthetics within present-day urban spaces, the project examines the tension and proximity between past memory and modern life.
