Nomad

Nomad documents my two-year journey living and working as a freelance digital nomad across Asia. Far removed from the lifestyle's glossy image, I worked intermittently, lived with few possessions and carried everything I owned in a backpack. This stripped-back existence created space to focus more deeply on my artistic practice.

The series emerged without a fixed concept, shaped instead by drifting through unfamiliar environments and responding intuitively to what I encountered. Moving frequently between cities, I became increasingly drawn to the intensity of urban life and the ways people interacted with the spaces around them. In densely populated cities undergoing rapid development, much of everyday life seemed to unfold outside the home, in shared spaces where people gathered, worked, ate or exercised.

As the project developed, I became less interested in photographing places according to preconceived ideas of how they should look, and more drawn to ordinary moments that revealed something about everyday life. I found myself observing the informal spaces people created within rapidly changing cities, and the quieter moments of connection, solitude and respite that emerged amongst the movement of urban life.

The work reflects cultures and landscapes in flux, documenting how everyday life continues and adapts alongside rapid urbanisation and changing environments.
