Honorable Mention Artist: Alic Trossman
Statement:
Cities have been the central focus of my work for the last ten years. Fascinated by the different spatial functions of streets and other public places, I followed routines and paths of urban life, seeking to create a dialogue with the urban environment, while aspiring to capture individuals in their surroundings and unveil the way they relate to each other.
