About

Peoplescape is an exploration of the frontiers where self and other overlap; it is an affirmation that each day and every individual is significant. The project encapsulates ideas about friendship and the art of meeting someone face-to-face in the midst of the social media revolution. Peoplescape captures how we relate to one another and who we hold onto as friends and why. It’s about promoting human connection and breaking down social barriers. Amazing things can happen when you put yourself “out there.” Affecting the people around you and being affected by them is the essence of life.
