George Nobechi was at a crossroads in his life. What he found resonates more than ever in a shut-down world.
pandemic escalates globally, many of us are spending an unprecedented amount of time indoors. During self-isolation, windows are a lifeline to the world around us.
When scenes of people looking out windows from within their homes in China, Italy and Iran became ever-present across social media and television, Japanese Canadian photographerwas reminded of a time where he felt disconnected and isolated from the world.
Drifting among friends’ houses and couches, he set out to come to terms with where his life had taken him, and it was then that he reconnected with photography, a long-dormant passion. For nearly three years, Nobechi created the photo project “Here. Still. ”. He simply captured signs of life: a potter’s work table, a motel room, an empty bus.
“I made photographs where I felt the presence of humanity inside a space, and the stillness of life unfolding beyond the window: visible, even tangible, but inaccessible, as if on a screen in an empty theatre,” Nobechi said in his project statement. “I recalled my childhood growing up in the organized chaos that is Tokyo, looking out on the enormous city from by bedroom window, even then feeling disconnected from the bustling people below.
In these 15 photos, Nobechi captures the beauty of quiet and stillness that truly resonates in this moment.Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona, 2017Cumbres and Toltec Railway, border between Colorado and New Mexico, 2016
