Set—Apart photographed a deeply personal interior project designed by Machteld Oosterbaan, located in the heart of Guatemala City. Conceived as a private apartment within an urban setting, the space reflects a personal dialogue with place—an intimate expression of belonging, memory, and daily life in Guatemala.

The photographic work focused on atmosphere, rhythm, and lived experience. Through light, framing, and subtle human presence, the images capture the spirit of the apartment—revealing how art, furniture, and architecture interact with movement, pause, and the natural flow of life within the space.
