This is a love letter to two beautiful cities.
In November 2012, I moved across the Atlantic. New York had
been my home for seven years. I belonged to New York. It was,
and always will be, my city.
But then I arrived in London and fell in love. It was thrilling to hunt
for all the little differences between the two cities, and comforting
to find moments of familiarity. Soon, London felt like home as
well.
So now I belong to two cities. I created this series of double
exposures to map the intersections between two sets of streets
and skylines. The resulting images are part New York, part
London, and collectively represent my vision of home.
New York + London explores place, memory, and identity through
architecture and nostalgia. Brooklyn Bridge Park meets Leicester
Square. Whitehall meets the South Bronx. The High Line meets
Knightsbridge. After a while, the cacophony of concrete and street
life begins to blend into something more universal. My hope is
that in the noise and silence, everyone will find something that
feels like home.
