This series explores the figure of the typical metropolis resident. The characters are blue-collar workers, yet inwardly they remain primal explorers searching for their place within urban networks. They are found in ordinary city locales—dead-end office corridors, facades within construction grids, overgrown wastelands between buildings. In these spaces, they seem out of place, and the context of their surroundings becomes absurd. Touring backpacks and tent poles function as vestiges of a desired life and natural environment: hiking tools transplanted into a setting for which they are ill-suited. The layering of images, visual constructions, and framing expose the rift between body and space, between image and content.
