Margins

Margins is a photographic observation of the places we do not care to see. These images are taken in the quiet corners of the city where trash gathers and time seems to stall. These spaces are not destinations. They are passed by, overlooked, neglected. Yet they are part of the city just as much as its landmarks and skylines. I began this project by asking a simple question: What do our cities discard, and what does that say about us? The answer unfolded in stains on concrete where movement has long stopped. Each site is a small record of daily life: its pace, its waste, its forgetting. There is no dramatization here. I do not aim to shock or to beautify. I aim to show. In doing so, I hope to create space for reflect on what we choose to ignore, and on how the built environment mirrors our values, our habits, and our silences. Margins is about edges, not only in space, but in attention. These are images of what lies just outside the frame of care. They belong to everyone and no one. By making them visible, I am not offering solutions. I am asking for acknowledgment.
