Oasis

  • Photographer
    Sebastian Siadecki, United States
  • Prize
    Fine Art Best New Talent / Gold Winner in Fine Art/Other

Oasis is a series of photographs based around encounters with strangers at gas stations, truck stops, and highway rest areas in the United States – spaces that are simultaneously on the margins of our built environment, yet central to American society and culture. The project embraces the fleeting connection that often occurs between people passing through these non-places. The work also explores the societal tensions that they represent, as well as the broader themes of the human relationship with motor vehicles and the illusion of freedom on the road.
