Hotel Motel 101 is a photographic series capturing the charm, nostalgia, and quiet solitude of classic roadside accommodations. Spanning 101 motels, this collection showcases the repetitive yet distinct characteristics of these familiar overnight stays.
From rows of numbered doors and neon-lit signs to faded carpets and vintage drive-through receptions, each image tells a story of a place that has hosted countless travellers over the decades. The project explores the balance between uniformity and uniqueness—motels may share common elements, but each one holds its own identity.
Shot exclusively at night, the collection enhances the mystery and quiet anticipation of an overnight stay. The glow of streetlights, the flicker of a TV behind closed curtains, and the occasional vacancy sign create an atmosphere both familiar and cinematic.
