I still get excited to go to town
'I still get excited to go to town' captures everyday confrontations with the modern city, fleeting moments of consciousness, the stumbling search for empathy, and a breath of kindness in the ever-drowning mass of consumerism. Connection is found through the extraordinary moments of the everyday, accidental evidence of human traces, hallucinogenic trees, and the intimacy of trust. This project asks us to slow down, to criticize, but equally to celebrate the curious oddities of modern living in the developed world. The images find solace, hope, and resilience by piecing together moments, with a sense of wonder, conflicting and surreal by nature, unnoticed or unvalued.
