I am interested in studying the human condition, which reveals itself through the repetitive nature of  the lived experience. I wish to  develop a language of visual enquiry, which contextualises the phenomenon of urban culture and the different contradictions of our society. 

The project Lucid Traveller captures portraits of commuters suspended in travel in public transport buses at the end of the day. I observed the same bus stop every evening for three months in an attempt to explore the idea of an incessant need for development, and the many definitions it assumes for people along the way. Although cities are considered the ultimate destination for many looking to advance their lives, these photographs are a reflection on the lived reality that accompanies this idea; expressions of the commuters ranging from stunned bewilderment to lethargic indifference act as an extension of the repetitive processes of urban life. The photographs allude to the living conditions that cities give rise to, highlighting the emotional condition of city-dwelling subjects at the end of each day, waiting to start the same cycle the following day. 

It is important that cities place greater value on the lives of its residents than on their own physical progression. The portraits of these commuters reveal a glimpse of what urbanisation brings with it: the promises and disquiet. Repeating the same task with the anticipation for a better tomorrow.
