Nomad

Nomad documents my two-year journey working as a freelance digital nomad across Asia. Far removed from the lifestyle’s glossy image, I worked intermittently, lived with few possessions, and carried everything I owned in a backpack. This stripped-back existence created space to focus more deeply on my artistic practice.

The series emerged without a fixed concept, shaped instead by drifting through unfamiliar environments and responding intuitively to what I encountered. Over time, the work began to reveal shifts in my own perspective. Moving through regions marked by inequality made me question inherited visual traditions and my position within the places I photographed. Scenes I once romanticised began to feel hollow without genuine connection.

Gradually, I moved away from expectations of how these places “should” appear and towards images grounded in lived experience. I became increasingly drawn to moments of transition — traces of the past beside rapidly expanding modernity. The work reflects cultures and landscapes in flux, documenting what remains as global development and digital culture steadily reshape them.
