Glum Desert
"In this glum desert, suddenly a specific photograph reaches me; it animates me, and I animate it. So that is how I must name the attraction which makes it exist: an animation." -Roland Barthes
Each photograph in the series is an invitation to witness the silent narratives and unspoken stories that unfold in the spaces between the grand narratives we construct about the suburban landscape. It prompts a contemplative gaze into the banality and the peculiar solitude. Through this lens, the series not only critiques the homogeneity and desolation of suburban life but also urges a re-examination of the spaces we consider mundane, encouraging viewers to find depth and meaning in the seemingly superficial stretches of our daily environments.
