The exhibition captures a variety of global workplace and leisure settings and experiences, offering a nuanced look at how and where we spend our time and energy. Employing a range of styles and techniques from diverse cultures, each photograph explores the role of work and leisure in shaping identity, community, and a sense of purpose.
