I’m very drawn to people, I think everyone has a story and a reason for who they are and for a moment, we share the same space. This project isn’t about perfection, it’s about presence. The simple act of noticing another human being.
I’m not interested in sides or systems. I’m interested in people, whoever they are, however they identify, whatever they believe. The camera is just an excuse to slow down and look closer. To find connection in a time that thrives on separation.
