Seen and Unseen

Seen and Unseen explores the fragile line between what we notice and what escapes our eyes in the rush of everyday life in New York City. Photographed entirely on a mobile phone, the series embraces the immediacy and honesty of the street, fleeting gestures, anonymous faces, and the layered textures of the city. In each frame, there is both the visible - the people, the architecture, the rhythm of traffic and the invisible: emotions, social contrasts, and stories hidden beneath the surface. The choice of medium reinforces the idea that meaningful photography is not bound by professional equipment, but by attention, presence, and sensitivity to moments that might otherwise vanish unnoticed. New York is often portrayed as monumental and iconic. Here, it is also intimate, vulnerable, and full of small fragments of humanity. Through these images, I aim to highlight that every street corner holds countless untold narratives, some seen, others forever unseen.
