Flying Freehold takes its title from the legal term
for property extending into spaces it does not own,
paralleling the fragmented and impermanent nature
of modern life. It reflects on the paradox of claiming
intangible spaces like the air or sky and how this mirrors
human connection: unseen boundaries, shared but
contested spaces, and transient exchanges. Through
themes of anonymity, routine, and existential detachment,
the book invites readers to consider what is truly
“owned” in the spaces we occupy and the lives we live.
The softcover book utilizes materials familiar to
architecture; the black-and-white cover image is printed
on one-sided white light cardboard and is hazed by an
opaque translucent jacket featuring silver-printed text.
Images flow through the uncoated, warm white pages
in a rhythmic arrangement. The layouts incorporate a
dynamic combination of full-color and grayscale images,
thoughtfully interspersed with moments of pause.
