Demolition Site, Miami, Florida, 2025

‘This was the collision of two different Miamis: in the foreground, a perfectly coiffed woman scrolling her phone without glancing up; behind her, a building is being torn apart, all twisted metal and falling concrete, watched over by an excavator stamped with “Watch it come down”. The contrast feels almost surreal – luxury and ruin separated by only a few feet."

The contrast feels almost surreal – luxury and ruin separated by only a few feet. This captures Miami’s uneasy balance: a place where glamour and collapse coexist so closely’
