Hushed Solitude

In Chicago I discovered an unexpected energy force created by and embodied by the city. A feeling of captivating excitement that something was going on, that something was happening, that the city itself was alive. At the same time, the city provides moments of repose, of contemplation and peace. This juxtaposition of hushed solitude within the context of the vibrant, engaging city has always represented unique, quieting and profound moments for me – moments in which the city is right there, but frozen in time, silent. Those fleeting moments represent my vision of Chicago, what I searched for and what the work presented here hopes to capture.
