Parallel Vernacular

Parallel Vernacular creatively collates a fascinating visual dialogue, driven by an interchangeable aesthetic, unknowingly fashioned by 13 parallel strangers, through unfamiliar graphic impressions of urban extraordinary banal. It apprehends an uncanny photography touchpoint where these walks of life are interpreting in the same visual perspective, of a somewhat different urban landscape, based on their resources, creative intuitions and emotions. Like a variant, or an alternate version of one another, sharing a parallel passion, soaking in the ordinary moments, and spinning them with an artistic twist, beyond everydayness.
