divergence duo – 2016
My Duo series is another ongoing project on this blog and the images above are part of that. Both images were made at the Eisenhower Expressway split, where one part of the expressway goes to the right (the exit to the Dan Ryan Expressway) and the other goes straight east into the Loop, and downtown Chicago.
It’s funny but these two images that I made at the Ike Split last year, led directly to the work I’ve been making on the highways and streets of Chicago this past year.

The one thing that unites all human beings, regardless of age, gender, religion, economic status or ethnic background, is that, deep down inside, we ALL believe that we are above average drivers.
