How people hold a private life inside public system
My work circles a single question: how do people hold a private life inside the public systems that surround them? Across these images a figure turns inward — to a device, a ritual, a meal, a task — while the surrounding environment closes around them. Between the two there is almost always a thin separation: literal glass, physical distance, negative space, a wall touched but not crossed.
I am interested in how older forms of meaning — faith, labor, ritual and tradition — continue inside modern public life, especially in a world of screens, movement and systems. But I also know that photographing these lives is not neutral. My camera creates distance, and that distance has become part of the work. I want the project to ask not only what I photograph, but how I photograph: how close I stand, who I make visible, and what responsibility my attention carries.
I don't yet want to resolve which thread matters most. These are the questions I intend to keep working — narrowing toward a focused, long-term inquiry while questioning my own position as the one who looks
Girl in traffic
A teenager sealed in a headphone bubble against a wall of moving traffic — a private interior carried through an indifferent public flow.
Through glass
Passengers seen through a rain-streaked window — the separation made literal. The image where the membrane I keep photographing becomes the surface itself.
