Artist Statement
I photograph cities through the quiet relationships between people and the spaces around them. To me, the city has its own rhythm — sometimes visible, sometimes almost silent. I am drawn to the subtle connections that appear and disappear within everyday life. I wait for those brief moments, for the visual sounds that exist between movement and stillness.
