Artist Devin Oktar Yalkin explores the enduring presence of place in his new book, *Alone Together (One Last Trip Around the Garden)*. The work is centered on his family’s vacant home in Brigantine, New Jersey.
The project serves as a visual meditation on memory, home, and the intangible remnants of spaces that persist long after they are physically left behind. Yalkin’s photographs and narratives delve into the quiet ghosts of personal history held within domestic walls.
By documenting the familiar yet emptied environment, the artist examines how locations become internalized. The book reflects on the universal experience of carrying the essence of a place long after departure.
