Context

Passing By gathers images that feel caught between arrival and disappearance: landscapes seen through a window, road scenes softened by speed, and night images where light becomes a trace instead of a fixed subject.

The book uses sequence to hold those fleeting views together. Rather than treating each photograph as a single destination, the project is about the feeling of moving through images before they fully settle.
