Out of Touch

Observing life in big cities made me start wondering if we are experiencing some kind of “dehumanization” of our world. More than half of the world population lives in cities and towns, where we are especially surrounded by an overwhelming flow of distraction from human touch. We found ourselves moving fast in artificial environments, growing apart from nature and from each other. The only connection with nature is primarily as a resource to fuel activities and satisfy our created need to consume. We go through life with artificial needs and relationships inside a global system that is sustained by our loneliness and a constant search for meaning. Out of touch is a journey of understanding and a shout of awareness of how far we are letting ourselves drive away from love and humanity. I started in two major metropolises, Tokyo and New York. What drives me on this project is my own suffering. My own need to understand and seek change.
