This series brings together people who walked the same streets and crossed the same roads albeit separated through time. The composition allows us to look beyond a single moment to observe the similarities and conjunction of their different purposes.
In creating the series, the photographer wanted to impose an sense of disbelief and engage the audience in a deeper look into the image, in to the studies of how the scene come to be and the consideration of the possibility of such a scene existing.
Using the road and the walk itself as a metaphor for life, these images further traces the universal theme of life’s journeys, struggles and our march towards the future with it’s serendipitous encounters and missed connections.
