Between 2015 and 2019, I created a photo series , capturing the distinctive rhythm of Australian life across Queensland, through everyday moments and encounters.
As an immigrant living far from my birthplace, I realised that migration profoundly reshapes one’s sense of self. It is not merely a change of location, but an ongoing process that shapes, challenges, and redefines identity. The cultural environment of my new home has played a vital role in this transformation, influencing how I see myself and the world around me.
Through this project, photography becomes a way for me to explore my curiosity and connect with the community I now call home. Each photo reflects my journey of adaptation and understanding — a process that is ongoing and evolving. As I visit new places and meet people from different races, religions, and backgrounds, I observe both the diversity and the shared humanity that connect us.
This series documents more than the Australian lifestyle; it captures my personal search for belonging and identity within it.
