Construction workers, delivery workers, taxi drivers, cleaning professionals...
The identity of the working class, the individuals who underpin the way of life in cities, is often obscured once they don their uniforms. Much like the representation of humans as strings of numbers in the digital world, uniforms in the rhythm of daily urban life serve as symbols and mental shortcuts. They enable people to categorize the working class, ultimately diminishing their individual identities. This series tries to make visible the human stories that often go unnoticed amidst the dynamics of city life.
