About the series:

Dislocated explores urban anxiety and the broader existential concerns and feelings that undermine contemporary life. The project combines atmospheric, environmental portraits with abstract or bracing urban settings, which comment on the uncertainty of our times and the opaqueness of truth in portraiture.

Dislocated is a time stamp in the form of moody, environmental portraits, mostly captured outdoors, often at night in the San Francisco Bay Area and London, between September 2024 and June 2025. In this series, the degraded environment amplifies the disharmony that surrounds and envelops the subjects.

What does it mean to feel dislocated in an age of simmering anxiety, amid mounting fears of war, layoffs, tariffs, fears about AI-driven job loss, climate change, political instability, and societal divisiveness? Stressors like these take a toll on both our personal and collective psyches. We may feel uncertain about tomorrow. Dislocated from what’s good.

The resulting digital photographic images map the topography of my urban anxiety and tap the broader, existential concerns and feelings of dislocation that undermine well-being in the contemporary metropolitan experience.
