Collection: These Are Not People

These Are Not People - nigelryan.art

Not People is about how we feel the presence of others, even when they are gone. It is the hum of a city breathing around us, the quiet current of lives unfolding beside our own. These images capture that unseen energy, the pulse of movement and emotion that shapes how we experience the world. You might not see the people, but you can sense them in the way light bends, in the spaces they have just left, in the feeling that lingers after a moment has passed.

This collection is less about what we look at and more about what we feel. It explores how the presence of others changes the air, how connection can be sensed without touch or words. Each piece is an invitation to pause and notice that invisible exchange, the charge of being near one another, the shared rhythm of living, the quiet beauty in simply existing together.
