Anchored

Public space is structured around circulation—streets, platforms, storefronts, and plazas designed for movement and exchange. Anchored focuses on moments when that movement slows or pauses, and individuals remain situated within these systems.

Across transit environments and everyday urban settings, people sit, stand, or linger in places that shape how stillness is occupied. The photographs attend to posture, spacing, and duration: how a body settles into a bench, a barrier, a recess, or a platform edge. Architecture and infrastructure act as quiet organizers, influencing orientation, distance, and the movement that continues nearby. Some moments of stillness emerge from circumstance; others are deliberately chosen. In each photograph, stillness appears as an observable condition of public life—private time unfolding within shared space.
