This series captures something quintessentially American: our love affair with the open road.
Growing up in Paris, France, I couldn’t quite grasp the allure of setting out on a journey with no destination in mind. The idea of hopping into a car and driving seemingly aimlessly seemed foreign, almost wasteful. In a small country where every inch has been inhabited and molded by humans for millennia, there’s no true big open space. You’re never far from anything.
But then, I crossed the Atlantic and found myself in the land of endless highways and boundless horizons. Living in the US, I came to realize that the impulse to roam is woven into the very fabric of American identity.
It’s a sentiment that echoes through the ages, from the nomadic tribes who first covered this vast land to the pioneers who carved their path westward, chasing dreams of a better life. “Go West, young man” is a mantra. “On the road” by Kerouac, a bible.
I now understand the pull of the magnetic pull of the open road. Freedom and adventure are too often sorely missing from our lives, but not when you are on the road. There’s something intoxicating about letting the journey itself be the destination.
These photographs serve as a siren call to the wanderer within us. They invite us to leave behind everyday life and follow the endless possibilities that await on the open road.
