On searching for the familiar within the other

November 11, 2018

I moved to London in 2013, Cricklewood has been my home for the last 4 years. This ongoing series of photographs pays tribute to the faces and the places that I encountered along my everyday routes, finding its core in my own neighbourhood. The sense of belonging I found in what was at first an unintelligible and distant community drew my focus toward elements of both familiarity and alienation.

Only by living and observing a place every day for a period of time can one change one’s perspective and start to appreciate even the little things that at first glance could be missed. Goodbye, Cricklewood will soon be released as a book.
