Urban solitude, Tokyo 2016

According to the World Economic Forum, loneliness is as harmful as smoking 15 cigarettes a day; this global epidemic is mostly caused by urbanization and technology. In Tokyo, the largest metropolis in the world, where there are few strangers and social relations are extremely regulated, a feeling of urban loneliness is palpable despite the almost omnipresent crowd. It is this feeling that I tried to convey through these images, captured in August 2016.
