Passing Through: Choreography of Urban Solitude
A photographic project captures two women navigating the same urban transit spaces—metro stations, underpasses, railway platforms—yet never meeting, exploring isolation within shared city routes. Shot on color negative film and hand-printed in the darkroom, the work uses analogue processes to emphasize presence, absence, and fleeting coincidences. The images focus on suspended moments between destinations, highlighting a tension between emotional intimacy and physical distance in modern urban life.
