What surrounds us most persistently often becomes the hardest to see.
Habit gradually reshapes attention, allowing familiar presences to fade
into the background of everyday experience.
This project explores the relationship between attention and habit
through the unnoticed elements that quietly structure urban life.
Rather than searching for the exceptional,
the photographs return to what has long been overlooked,
suggesting that invisibility is not always a matter of absence, but of familiarity.
Photography becomes an exercise in looking again, restoring visibility
to what constant exposure has slowly erased from perception.
