"Passing By No.5", New York, NY, 2019/2024
A composite of 5 photos of walking people against the same empty window on Madison Avenue. The title holds a dual meaning: they walked passing by this empty shopping window — and passing by each other.
Notice how the silhouettes align along diagonal lines; the images speak to each other that way too.
Top left: one man walks alone; Bottom right: a man and a woman pass shoulder to shoulder. They probably won’t see each other again.
Top right: a man and woman walk toward one another; Bottom left: a man and woman walk away from each other.
In the center: men and women, young and old.
It’s a quiet drama — an off-Broadway show --- all the stories in a metropolitan city: happened and unhappened.
