PROJECT STATEMENT

Taken from city buses, these images reveal people in their daily travels and suggest stories about where they’re going and what is on their minds. The bus stops and street corners act like stages for little dramas to play out.

You can see masks here and there, as everyone emerges from the pandemic in an unsettled mood. Fleeting moments of indecision are frozen in place.

Reflections from the bus windows stretch across storefronts and big intersections, as the city’s vast panorama comes into play.
