The act of photographing everyday life, devoid of intentions beyond mere recording, reveals the confluence of disparate existences, individuals whose lives, under normal circumstances, would never intersect.
Street photography, in its capacity to capture fleeting moments, stands as the ideal medium for the composition of these ephemeral scenes, where human diversity manifests in its rawest and most authentic form.
The aim, through the lens of aesthetics, is to sublimate routine, even in its most decadent manifestation, extracting beauty from banality and granting dignity to the marginalized.
It is not morbid curiosity that drives this, but the pressing need to preserve the memory of a world marked by inequality, a visual testament to injustices that would otherwise fade into oblivion.
In the era of immediacy, where information flows at breakneck speeds and attention fragments into fleeting instants, the relevance of these records is heightened.
The fleeting nature of attention, the constant demand for new content, contributes to the normalization of the morally questionable, anesthetizing the collective conscience to everyday injustices. The city, through these images, is revealed as a space of wear and tear, a stage where the struggle for survival leaves its mark on every face and in every corner.
It is a reality that resists normalization, a silent cry against indifference and apathy.
