I am drawn to what the human eye often overlooks: sticks scattered in the dirt, a scuff of gum, shadows and stains beneath our feet. These moments are not staged, but they carry a presence of their own. A crow emerges from plastic and twigs. A profile rises on wet pavement. An ear appears where a root meets the air. Each suggests the places we pass through are not silent or indifferent, but attentive, responding in kind.

My work lingers on these encounters, letting them shift my perception. A second look reveals streets and sidewalks not as background, but as playful, animated, and participating. It feels as if the everyday landscape nudges us, insisting: “I am here too.”

Through these photographs, I offer traces of that dialogue, inviting viewers to pause and notice how even the most ordinary or discarded things can demand attention.
