"Brick and Mortar" is an on-going photography project that delves into the quiet aftermath of business closures. Through capturing abandoned storefronts and vacant shops, the project reflects on the evolving patterns of consumer behavior and the significant impact of rising real estate costs on businesses. Each image serves as a poignant reminder of the dynamic and often harsh realities of the marketplace. This visual narrative encourages us to think about the economic changes that lead to these empty spaces and the cultural implications of our changing shopping practices.
