The Extended Frame: A Collection Of Urban Stories

Bird Market, Hong Kong, 2017

This collection of Urban Stories emphasizes humanity’s occupation of space. The extended format allows me to more completely convey a visual narrative of the overly stimulating experience felt across urban environments. Three to six Individual photographs - and the subjects within them - are placed in conversation to explore dichotomies of public vs. private, unity vs. isolation, the collective vs. the individual. The resulting photographs transport the viewer to imagined environments even as visual inconsistencies disrupt the illusion where two frames meet. Simultaneously both distinct and interlinked, these images reveal unexpected connections, challenging our idea of what is real.
