Wanderer explores the emotional connection between the photographer and the spaces she moves through. Instead of only showing what a place looks like, the work uses both film and digital photography to capture feelings in different moments. The environment becomes a backdrop for personal experiences, where emotions like solitude, joy, nostalgia or thoughtfulness shape what is seen and photographed. Each image reflects how feelings and places influence each other, turning ordinary spaces into something more personal.
The work is inspired by the ideas of the flâneuse and psychogeography, seeing walking as a way of noticing and experiencing a place. Moving through streets, paths or open areas becomes a way to explore how mood and surroundings connect, and how one can change the way the other is felt.
Through these photographs, places are not just empty settings. They hold emotion, memory and small details that reflect human experience. Wanderer invites viewers to think about how their own feelings shape the way they see the world, and how the places they visit can quietly leave something behind in return.
