ANDREW TAN, The Night Shift (URBAN 2025)

This night photography scene depicts an old, illuminated phone booth and an abandoned toy car on an empty dark street. By stripping away context, it reduces the vignette to essential elements that evoke a sense of eerie calm and urban loneliness. The harsh booth lighting creates dramatic contrasts that isolate the subjects against the darkness lending a cinematic quality. Though devoid of people, the discarded toy prompts viewers to imagine the larger story and poetic undertones concealed in this mundane yet haunting snapshot of the suburbs after hours.
