LifeCanvas began as a habit of carrying a camera through the cities I spend time in. Some places return in different seasons. Others appear only once. The project does not aim for completeness - it reflects what I happened to notice while being there.
Cities perform constantly: queues that are really stages, traffic that is really a social contract, heritage districts that curate themselves for cameras. The longer you look, the more the surface gives way to the system underneath - the human logic behind the spectacle, the adaptation behind the routine.
These images were collected over the past years, living and moving between nine Asian cities. LifeCanvas looks at how people share space, perform identity, and build lives in proximity to each other - the patterns that connect these cities, and the differences that make each one distinct.
EdgeCanvas
Where global systems meet human reality
LifeCanvas and EdgeCanvas are two sides of the same project. EdgeCanvas is where the longer essays live - exploring how people adapt at the intersections of cultures, systems, and economies, and the human logic behind systems that rarely make headlines.
