The Third Space

I love wandering the streets and observing the city and its people. For me, walking through the streets is a way of seeing without filters—where the city slowly reveals itself through countless, delicate details. In Third Space, I have captured fragments of these encounters. Each pair of images was taken in different places and at different moments, yet they are brought together through a shared color, form, or idea. This visual synchronicity creates a new space that invites the viewer to engage in a game of interpretation. This game opens up an in-between space—a space that belongs to neither image on its own but emerges from the viewer’s perception, experience, and imagination. As Edward Soja suggests, this is where the “Third Space” is formed—a place between the physical reality of the city and its mental reflection.

In my street photography, my gaze gravitates toward what is unusual, simple, or even mundane. Colors, geometric shapes, and the way they interact with light give each photograph its unique atmosphere. I collect these moments like scattered pieces of an urban puzzle—fragments that, although captured separately, are linked through their shared origin.
I bring these photographs together through a kind of mental game. At first glance, the diptychs may appear as a simple composition or two accidental patches of color placed side by side. Yet the eye naturally moves back and forth between the images, searching for subtle connections or inventing its own narrative to bind them together.
this is an ongoing project that started in 2016.
