Project Overview:
Inspired by Georges Perec and his text L’Infra-Ordinaire, this project examines the everydayness of gender-based violence and fear embedded in urban public and transitional spaces. Through visual research, it questions how city structures shape safety, movement, and lived experiences, revealing the extraordinary within the ordinary.
