En Route is a documentary project that navigates the visual and emotional landscape of the American West, drawing inspiration from Robert Frank’s The Americans and Alec Soth’s introspective portrayals of the United States. Capturing the liminality of transit, En Route explores the aesthetics of the mundane: airports, highways, and signage, mapping tention between the site and the observer.

All of these images are shot in the state of motion. This series examines how mobility reshapes our perception of landscape, documenting the overlooked yet deeply repetitive symbols of travel.
