Using the street as a mirror.
I take a portrait of the city and of myself.
The city does not only surround me; it reflects me. In the faces I photograph, I recognize fragments of my own attention, my own restlessness, my own way of moving through the world. The street offers no neutral ground. Each encounter is a small exchange in which looking is never one-sided, and the image becomes a trace of that mutual recognition.
I feed on the city as much as it feeds on me. Its gestures sharpen my own, its rhythms shape the way I see, the way I frame, the way I linger or withdraw. In photographing others, I am also photographing my position among them — my distance, my proximity, my willingness to be affected. The city becomes a mirror because it refuses to let me remain invisible.
