The Participants.
a Balance Between Competetition
and
Collaboration.
The project explores the human instinct to both stand apart and belong, to race forward yet move in unison. In some frames, hands grasp for the same prize, eyes locked in quiet defiance. In others, fingers interlace, shoulders press together, a fleeting moment of alliance before the inevitable shift back to rivalry.
there are no winners or losers here. only participants, bound together by the beautiful, restless push-and-pull of human connection.
each subject exists in a silent dialogue with the others. striving, reaching, resisting, yielding. their bodies, expressions, and gestures tell a story of ambition and dependence, a tension that pulses in every interaction.
