RSD Subseries

RSD Subseries

The Rear Seat Diaries evolve through variation. Certain visual themes appear again and again while driving. They are not planned in advance. They emerge from the environment and from the limits of the moving frame. When a pattern becomes strong enough, it forms its own direction. These subseries group images that share a clear structural focus.

Patience

Each subseries isolates one aspect of the view from the car. Bridges, fields, settlements, people. Distance sets the rules. There is no staging. The world passes. The camera records what is possible in that moment.

The approach stays constant. Observation through a window. Motion. Limited reaction time. The format and perspective repeat. What changes is the subject and the abstraction it creates. Built structures become geometry. Human presence becomes trace. Nature becomes motion.

Together, these subseries expand the main project. They show how different subjects behave under the same constraints. Variation inside continuity. A documentary method with minimal control and a fixed vantage point.
