The black and white photographs depict the arid landscape of the first airport built in post-comunist Romania. The title "Holding Pattern" refers to a maneuver used in aviation, designed to delay an aircraft already in flight by keeping it in a specified airspace. The black-and-white photographs revolve around the airport runway and present a portrait of a waiting landscape imbued with deep geopolitical nuances.
