The water’s edge in New York City is a captivating intersection of urban vibrancy and natural serenity. Along the city’s extensive waterfront, we see a blend of modern skyscrapers, bustling harbor activity, and scenic waterfront parks. It’s a place where individuals seek refuge from the city’s relentless pace. Whether it’s a ferry ride to Staten Island, a morning jog from Chelsea Pier, or simply gazing at the city lights reflecting on the water’s surface, the water’s edge in New York City offers a unique connection between humanity and the ever-flowing rhythms of nature. This photography project explores this connection by looking at individuals at the water.
