Venturing outdoors with a tripod and camera, I capture everyday objects, searching for moments where their forms are revealed and light takes on a tangible presence. Each photograph becomes a fragment of a specific place, as I explore intriguing locations from every possible angle. This approach shifts from the studio’s routine of white walls and silence, to the dynamic noise and randomness of the streets. I use a vertical format, which is typically employed for portraits, to imbue the objects with a sense of human-like presence. Through the camera, the identity of each object is erased, regardless of its previous use before the moment it was captured by the lens, now becoming an object of passion.
