It stages photography as an unstable encounter between strangers, where public space replaces domestic intimacy and words emerge as traces of a negotiated relationship.

The series conceives photography as a relational and linguistic act: the image does not precede the word, but meets it. Each shot is the visual residue of a negotiation, a fragment of dialogue that makes visible the ethical and political tension of photographing in public space.

The images do not simply document faces, but record the moment when the photographic gesture is accepted, rejected, negotiated, or interrupted.
