Disappearing
Jobs.
WHY IS THIS PROJECT
IMPORTANT?
Our world is made of the once-common, the common, and the future common. The reallocation of current tasks between human and machine is already in motion. As time and technology progress, anything could disappear.
We invest a lot of time, energy, and hope into finding jobs, succeeding in those positions, and searching for a new career that will satisfy both our souls and our needs for survival, yet we give such little thought to the different roles that we have in society that deserve respect and dignity.
​
While the primary goal of this project is to record the unique time in which we're living, one in which many jobs are being replaced by technology and new societal demands, the more crucial goal is to encourage everyone to pause and appreciate the work that we all do and provided with by all professions, forgotten or unheard of.
THE PHOTOGRAPHER
Born in Malaysia, Prestine Davekhaw works as a photographer and copywriter. Her interest in literature, philosophy, art and the natural world, arm her with the power to produce work that is rooted in beauty, reason and spirit. She occupies space with grace and embodies a perpetual mission to embrace the world with open awareness that brings others closet to the truth.
​
She is currently devoted to this project full-time. You may visit her general portfolio here.
PROJECT END GOALS
The project needs to be presented to the world outside of the Internet in a more concrete way such as exhibition and photo book. Please get in touch if you're interested in joining as an exhibition partner.
There is only so much one person can accomplish, I hope that this project will serve as the catalyst for the beginning of enduring report and documentation of disappearing jobs among journalists, photographers, and storytellers.
