Future-oriented street and documentary photography ⤴️
🔻Catatan:

What are the most important things about our reality today that future generations may find interesting to learn about?

🔻Catatan:
“If we consider this time as our present life, then what about the world around us? Where did we come from, and what are we going to create? What do you live for? I take photos to answer many questions like these.” ⤴️
