He Found Himself, he will not Draw Passers-By Anymore
He Found Himself... tells the story of the walkers on the beach and their experiences of day-to-day plights. The minimalist visual style captures the loneliness of the subjects /the people/. The faces of the people in the photos are obscure. The subjects' anonymity allows the viewer to see themselves in their stories. The use of deserted beaches as the setting for the images adds a layer to the loneliness. It serves as a metaphor for the loneliness and isolation experienced by the subjects. At the same time, the abandoned beaches also speak to environmental destruction, suggesting that humanity's carelessness contributing to the erosion of the natural world around us. The titles try to /ask/ undermine the usual tradition of understanding the role of the title in one very charming human discipline, the Art. The project also has an interactive photo book. Overall, this photo project engages the viewer on multiple levels.
