"Thoughts and Reflections" is an ongoing project capturing contemplative moments of subway commuters. These black and white, high-contrast photos, inspired by Japanese snapshot culture, use window reflections to depict layers of thoughts and imaginations. Shot in the intimate subway setting, the series explores suspended moments where time seems to pause, reflecting my personal journey of self-discovery. It invites viewers to appreciate subtle introspective moments and unveils the hidden layers of our inner worlds in the stillness of the subway.
