“Some Cities Know Too Much About Us”

“Some Cities Know Too Much About Us”

This work is about the city as a witness to a person’s inner life. About places that quietly observe our transformations, loneliness, attempts to begin again, and the versions of ourselves that nobody else notices.

I wanted to capture the feeling of moving through a new reality where bright colors become a way to emotionally remain alive.For me, this work is about the memory of cities and the people who leave parts of themselves inside the spaces they move through.

“Cities can also hold human emotions.”

— inspired by Joan Didion
