The Commute
The Commute was created during a work-related stay in Chennai, India. The photographs were taken during my own commute to work and excursions to Chennai’s surroundings.

The work for me is very much about fleetingness, about the abstract glimpses of a passing by stranger and the labyrinthian collage of a city that mirrors my perception at the time.
