East Streets

Inspired by the concept of "desire lines"—unofficial paths formed by people's movements— I carefully studied the road networks, public transit routes, and urban infrastructure of Toronto. This has led me to create a visual portrait of the city's east end, an area rich with unique identity and character. My photographs weave narratives of movement, discovery, and evolving connections with each journey. I keenly observe architecture, natural formations, discarded objects, and various landscape patterns, allowing them to guide me as I carve my own paths.
