Alone in New York is a study in contradictions. A city that never sleeps, never pauses, never empties—yet within its restless pulse, moments of solitude emerge.
New York is full. Of people, of noise, of lives crossing and colliding. But loneliness here doesn’t come from absence—it comes from being surrounded. These photographs capture that tension: the intimacy of aloneness in a place built for millions.

The Audio Book Speaker is a standalone device that combines the tactile experience of reading with the convenience of audiobooks. You simply insert a physical book into it, and the speaker instantly recognizes the title, streaming the corresponding audiobook from online sources. This interaction, where you physically place a book into the device, creates a more engaging and human experience, blending the physical and digital worlds in a novel way.

Time Stretched is a visual exploration that delves into the intricate interplay between time, motion, and human perception. Each image in the series freezes a moment in a temporal paradox: the surroundings seem distorted in a chaotic stretch of time, while the central figure remains unchanged amidst the warped fabric of time. This results in elongated landscapes, distorted architecture, and surreal atmospheres, creating a captivating visual atmosphere.
Each image was captured in diverse locales spanning the globe, from the bustling streets of New York to the vibrant landscapes of Tokyo, Barcelona, Bangkok, and beyond. However, within the realm of Time Stretched, geographical distinctions fade into insignificance, as the viewer is transported into an abstract, distorted moment of time. Here, the central character appears alone and suspended in their own temporal bubble, detached from the constraints of place and immersed in the intriguing interplay of temporal paradoxes.
