Human in the city/Nature in the human

The Human in the city/Nature in the human is a continuation of my other project: Human in the city/City in the human. In the first series, I wanted to capture a person in intimate situations in a city space.

This time, I'm trying to show a person as a part of a city that resembles a prison: grey, thick, built of monochromatic walls, contrasting it with the peaceful pictures of nature that we should naturally belong to. I'm also showing the feelings: loneliness in the city, longing for freedom and search for the fresh air. Many people in my generation dream about living free, living outside but they are tight to the corporation desks, never realising their dreams and collecting money. My last photo, the one showing barbed wire is the metaphor of our modern lives - it's a fence that separates us from nature and wildlife, the invisible fence that keeps us inside air-conditioned office buildings where we can only look through the windows.
