Sonder
M Miller
“I aim to spark a dialogue on the human experience within cities and the imperative need for genuine connection in our crowded, yet often isolating, environments.”.
Artist Statement
Sonder – noun. The realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own.
Sonder is an exploration of the feelings of isolation and distance that are an inherent aspect of city life. Reflecting on my own sense of invisibility walking through the streets of Chicago, this project asks viewers to examine their own detachment from the busy world around them. The subjects of my photographs, intentionally distanced and often framed by the structures of the city, symbolize how we are disconnected, despite physical proximity. This project aims to spark intrigue and fascination about the sea of faces that surrounds us.
