After coming to New York, I realized how this city, home to more than 8 million people, is not other than a melting pot of individuals coming from all over the world, and I thought how I’m not the only one who finds this place strange and distant, even though for a lot of people this place is home. My goal with this project is to document the way people interact with their surrounding, how the way we build the space around us, and the object present in that space shape the way we interact with each other, how we unconsciously establish a sense of “familiar”. Looking at things present in our lives every day, like benches, home, grass, trees, and everything we take for granted, could model in our minds an unconscious feeling, sparking every kind of emotion. If we only focus on that particular object for more than just a glance, we look closely we could feel a different kind of interaction, and focus on how different objects present in our world could have a deeper meaning for us other than the common use. Why a photo of a crying baby, a person running, something that employs motion, and not a static scene resonates a deeper meaning than a simple object found on the side of the street, a slow and impalpable motion, something more subtle. I think that both two ways of looking are equally important, both are giving something to think about, the first one usually it’s more about the story surrounding the photos, what has caused that movement, timing, why that frame on not the other; and on the other hand the second type of approach is more connected I think to what we can get just by observing at a more static scene for a longer time, with everything in focus, eyes going everywhere throughout the image, looking at it as a whole, and what this observing the scene could spark in the mind of the viewer, how each viewer could relate to that scene on a personal level, driven by his personal experience and culture.
