On My Way to Work

Life often feels like a continuous loop—a cycle of leaving home, traveling to work, and returning, day after day. This repetition, while familiar, can feel like a trap. We move through these routines, often without thought, as though we are cogs in a larger machine. The routes we take, the places we visit, and the actions we repeat blur together, leaving us with little space to reflect or truly observe the world around us.

But what if we stopped for a moment to truly see? The beauty in our daily lives is not lost; it’s hidden in plain sight, waiting to be noticed. The sunlight filtering through the building entrance as you leave home, the small conversations or silences at the bus stop, the rhythm of vehicles on the road, or the changing skies outside your office window—these are moments of quiet poetry we overlook in our rush to "get somewhere."

This series captures the tension between feeling trapped in this cycle and the opportunity it offers: a chance to slow down and find beauty in the mundane. Each frame invites you to reimagine your surroundings, to view the spaces you move through with fresh eyes. The same road may not look the same tomorrow. The ordinary can become extraordinary if only we pay attention.

The question this series leaves you with is this:

Are we truly trapped by our routines, or do they offer us a canvas to find meaning in the everyday?
