Description
This image is part of an ongoing project titled The Weight of Silent Echoes. Through this series, I explore the tension between solitude and connection within the constantly shifting rhythm of urban life.
As an introvert living in a modern, bustling city, I am drawn to overlooked moments where private and public worlds briefly intersect, and where the pulse of the city slows to reveal quiet moments of solitude and reflection. Through these images, I invite viewers to reconsider how we see our cities—and one another.
Biography
Born in Hong Kong and raised in Toronto, the artist has been photographing for more than 30 years. Over the past decade, the work has focused on candid moments in the streets of Toronto and cities around the world.
Influenced by Fan Ho, Saul Leiter, Alfred Hitchcock’s cinematography, and film noir, the artist is drawn to quiet, in-between moments where people seem suspended in time. The work has been exhibited at art fairs in Toronto and internationally, including the Treviso Photographic Festival (Italy) and TheStreetSoup Art Gallery (Milan, Italy).
