This collage is my take on what a tourist experience is like, combining discovery, wonder and connection. The outline of a woman's head acts as a familiar yet personal frame, filled with the detailed layers of a sprawling cityscape. Inside her profile, you can see all the urban elements that give the city its heartbeat – skyscrapers, busy streets and neon signs. It's almost like her very essence has been imprinted with the allure and dynamism of the city she moves through.
It's all about the adventure of exploring a city and how it can leave its mark on you. The silhouette represents the known, the individual; it's a visual anchor. But within her is the unknown—the city's vibrant energy and endless possibilities. It's like how new places change us, making us see things differently with every step.
I hope to capture that emotional harmony of familiarity and novelty, and to celebrate the profound connections we form with places that expand and redefine us.
