Between 2022 and leading up to the election in 2024, Robin de Puy travelled around the United States collecting audio, film and photographic portraits of people she met along the way. The resulting series, titled "AMERICAN", is a beautiful collection of film, photography and audio that asks, "What are the thoughts, concerns and dreams of the largely unheard people of America?". Capturing the spirit, complexity and intricacies of each person she meets, the series is a snapshot of unflinching humanity, skillfully brought to life through Robin’s lens.
