The series dramatizes the way human beings interact with the space that contains them, visually exploring the subtleties in gestures, dress, facial expressions that reveal meaningful insights into another culture or another state of mind. I selected these photographs while working and traveling in-between places, in Vietnam and in the States. Through these photographs, I hope to immerse the viewers in an estranged feeling, almost like a dream sequence imbued with imagination and free association. I want to provoke questions and stir the web of consciousness tying these images together. Personally, my motivation to create these images is an urge to grapple with visual meanings and their implications, specifically based on my experience of feeling rootless throughout my early twenties.
