What do you learn about a city when you cross it in a straight line?
Crossing is a walking experiment where I move from edge to edge — west to east, north to south — tracing a path through neighborhoods, roads, and spaces that don’t usually follow a single storyline. It’s not about efficiency or sightseeing. It’s about stitching together opposites, letting the walk reveal what's in between.
Walks
Each crossing follows a simple rule: walk from one edge of a city to the opposite side, without shortcuts. Below are the cities I've crossed so far, each one a straight line through a different story.
