KOMA captures the poignant transformation of a small town amidst gentrification as it navigates the delicate dance between progress and preservation. Through an observational lens, it reflects on the evolution of local identity as the physical world evolves. KOMA is not a lament, but a witness to the resilience of place, the fragility of memory, and the human impulse to both build and belong. It asks us to see not just what is gone, but what remains in the face of inevitable change.
