Dream Together

2023 · Street photography · Alienation, fleeting connection, urban intimacy

Dream Together explores the fragmented duality of urban life—where moments of alienation and connection continuously weave together. Across the streets of North America, millions pass one another, isolated within their own worlds, yet within the chaos, brief but profound moments of connection break through. These glances, gestures, and expressions—while often fleeting—carry an intensity that lingers, reminding us of the shared humanity beneath the surface.

A curated selection from this project had exhibited at CONTACT Photography Festival.
