Difference In The World

Think of the world as a giant photograph consisting of many pixels. Each pixel taken individually is a separate entity and can be considered a person or a family. Each individual is experiencing its own unique life. Based on social identity theory, each person has a different social identity and is classified into a specific group. However, people are multi-faceted. As a photographer, I use documentary and street photography to record the strangers who pass by me at this moment at a specific time and place. We don’t know each other, and this is only my impression of them; it doesn’t represent the person.
