Statement
I am intrigued by the universal behaviours of strangers and the behaviours that are kept for private moments. The information I can discover through my voyeuristic pursuits satisfies this extreme curiosity about people. Isolating the subject in unpopulated settings is the way to capture incidental details of a moment that would otherwise be lost in a crowd of people, details that only distance between the camera and the subject could capture. The window provides a frame for these moments, and although being a transparent object, it acts as a solid protective barrier between the viewer and the viewed. Cropping the image in a way that traps your gaze within the frame, you begin to look closely at where evidence of the mundane behaviour of the individuals appears. The psychological tensions between the viewer and the viewed is achieved through this compression of space.
