Fear and Self Loathing in New York

I was fortunate enough, during my childhood, to explore various parts of the United States. It is only since returning to the East Coast as an adult that the experience has truly left a lasting impression on me.

This ongoing work examines urban landscapes from a personal perspective, exploring both famous and hidden locations that reveal often-missed aspects of these environments. With some images evoking feelings of isolation, I encourage viewers to step back and observe the contrast between the intimate details of the city and the overarching expanse of urban solitude.

By presenting the familiar in new ways, I hope to offer fresh insights into the complexities of urban life, focusing on the interplay of light, shadow, and intricate details while prompting reflection on the loneliness that can exist within crowded spaces, inviting viewers to reconsider their relationship with these vibrant yet detached settings.
