Oblivion

As technology continues to evolve, we find ourselves drifting further from the physical world, absorbed by the small screens in our hands that have become windows to a digital world. In this realm, we can be anyone, do anything, and live however we wish. But as we transcend into this digital era, our awareness of the real world, the one right in front of us, often fades.

In this modern age, our digital devices have become so all-consuming that what used to be vital—family moments, a walk in the park, a conversation with friends—slowly fades into the background. We are becoming more and more distracted by digital content, and the things that truly matter are being overshadowed by pixels on a screen.

We stare at our phones constantly—whether we're at a bus stop, in the middle of a meal, or even when someone is standing right in front of us, talking to us. Our phones have become our windows to what we perceive as the most important events in life, pulling us away from reality. The obsession with digital content is not only affecting our relationships and interactions but is pushing us deeper into oblivion, disconnecting us from the world around us.

Our phones have become our windows to what we perceive as the most important events in life, pulling us away from reality. The obsession with digital content is not only affecting our relationships and interactions but is pushing us deeper into oblivion, disconnecting us from the world around us.

'Oblivion' is a street photography project that captures this pervasive disconnection. Through the lens, we see people absorbed in their phones, unaware of the beauty and life unfolding around them. The photographs aim to reveal the subtle but powerful shift in human behavior as we navigate through the digital age.
