In Intimate Intervention, acts of personal care unfold in public spaces, revealing how touch transcends conventional boundaries between private and shared domains. The series examines fleeting moments—adjusting a collar, brushing away a stray hair, fixing a zipper—where intimate gestures emerge within the rhythms of daily urban life.
These unposed encounters challenge our assumptions about where intimate acts belong. Though typically confined to private spaces, such moments of care occasionally surface in plain view—on busy streets, in cafes, on public transit. The subjects remain absorbed in their exchange, transforming anonymous public territory into a temporarily private sphere. Through their unconscious performance, they reveal how intimacy adapts to and reshapes shared environments.
Beyond documenting physical interactions, the work explores how these small interventions reflect deeper patterns of human connection. Each image captures the implicit trust between participants as they briefly suspend social boundaries, allowing private acts to exist within public view. Through these ordinary yet striking moments, Intimate Interventioninvites viewers to reconsider rigid divisions between public and private life, suggesting that true intimacy exists independent of physical space—able to manifest wherever genuine human care and attention emerge.
