unseen is a visual and narrative exploration of the city’s hidden layers–the parts untouched by the lens of mainstream media. Through personal reflection and observational storytelling, I hope to uncover the quiet truths beneath the grounds of a high-profile city like New York. The project captures the tension between expectation and reality and reveals how the beauty of a city can live in the unnoticed, ordinary, and the so- called unfavorable. This project challenges the viewer to look beyond the billboards and busy streets, and to find meaning and connection to the unseen corners.
