Although the photographs in this series are gleaned from my travels throughout Israel and America in 2012-2013, my approach deviates from the zoomed-out, illustrative nature of most travel photography. Rather, traveling provides me an opportunity to look closely at the margins. These photographs capture strange and transitory moments, where reality slightly unravels itself, exposing an existence marked by instability, mystery and humor.
These melancholy places serve as stages for human emotion and sites of introspection. Like emotion, which is inherently unstable, these images never settle. They are the photographs of a traveler, displaying all the wonder and escape travel offers, while also exposing the exhaustion and disorientation of the experience. Such moments of honesty, speak to a localized experience while also probing mysteries of existence, revealed through dislocation.
