The “Analytical Observations of Whitechapel, London” series is a visual celebration of Whitechapel in East London. During my morning commute, walking through the area I asked myself: how much information am I missing out on in these ten minutes? This led to observing furiously, with as many approaches to intake visual information as possible. With my newfound fresh pair of eyes, I uncovered information that had been hiding in plain sight. I arranged my discoveries into 6 themed books analising different the facets of whitechapel, from more visually superficial to research-aided findings.
