In Pairs, the phenomenon of visual doubling becomes a lens through which to examine the interplay between identity and similarity in urban space. The series explores how parallel forms—whether genetic twins, coordinated outfits, or chance resemblances—create moments where individuality and uniformity intersect, revealing patterns of connection that emerge within the anonymous flow of city life.
These doubled figures transform public spaces into stages where identity performs itself through reflection and repetition. Each pairing carries its own psychological weight—from the unconscious mirroring between lovers to the deliberate coordination of friends, from genetic destiny to chosen affinity. Within the urban landscape, these echoed forms suggest both the human desire for uniqueness and our equally powerful drive toward belonging and association.
Beyond simple documentation of visual symmetry, the work examines how paired bodies articulate broader social dynamics of conformity and distinction. Through these collected doubles, Pairs reveals how identity emerges not in isolation but through an ongoing dialogue between self and other, between standing apart and fitting in. The series invites viewers to consider how we read and interpret visual rhymes in the social sphere, and how the phenomenon of doubling shapes our understanding of both individual and collective identity.
