shadows, san francisco.

composite photographs, 2022.

Society aspires to be liberal and open-minded but remains opinionated and judgmental. narrow mindsets suffocate acceptance and compassion, social expectations and conformity restrict individual desiderata. impairments from functionality are sanctioned, experiences of trauma and inequity persist to be subject to invalidation. the focus is on blame rather than reflection and improvement. it is travesty of humanity to expect those who are struggling to fight for basic support.

shadows attempts to visualize the discomfort caused by societal ignorance, inequality and outdated norms.

please be kind and inspire people to have empathy.
