Urbanism

2019–2024 | A prelude to Convergence

Urbanism traces the early years of my photography—shaped by instinct, repetition, and a quiet obsession with rhythm. These images came before I had language for my style, but they were circling a deeper feeling: that public space is never neutral, and the city is always performing.

Shot between 2019 and 2024, the series captures how people reveal themselves—through costume, gesture, architecture, and chance. I was drawn to visual tension and the unpredictable collisions of street life. But looking back, I see a bigger question emerging:

How do we perform identity when surrounded by strangers?

This was when I first realized I wasn’t just documenting the city—I was translating it. These weren’t just clever moments. They were emotional metaphors. Symbols of something collective, unresolved, and strangely sacred.

Though my current work has shifted toward a more abstract and poetic style, Urbanism taught me how to listen to the city—and to find meaning in the accidents of public life.

This is where I learned to see.
