She lies still, a whisper of shadow and light, lost in a moment between surrender and strength. The room around her vanishes—only the softness of breath and the heat of memory remain.
Welcome to my world rendered in absolutes—pure black and white, nothing in between. Each photo is crafted in 1-bit black and white where shadow and light battle for space, and emotion finds clarity in contrast. Stripped of color and grays, these works reveal raw presence, surreal quiet, and stories whispered through form. Here, the binary becomes deeply human.

She lies still, a whisper of shadow and light, lost in a moment between surrender and strength. The room around her vanishes—only the softness of breath and the heat of memory remain.

A sun-drenched street pulses with presence, where generations glide past each other unaware. A child’s stare from the stroller catches it all — the noise, the motion, the unspoken code of womanhood in stride.

She drifts without oar or anchor, trusting the quiet current to carry her somewhere softer. The boat cradles her like a secret, floating between memory and surrender.

She writes in silence, the ink of dusk pooling on the page. A confession, perhaps, or just the memory of one—held in shadows, never mailed, always felt.

A quiet glance held between moments—before words, before coffee, before the world floods in. The mirror doesn’t reflect; it remembers.

Morning draped itself gently over her shoulders, as if the sky paused just to listen. Stillness became the voice of longing, whispered through frosted glass.

Each frame captures a breath between thoughts, a flicker of recognition that never lands. Seen together, they become a silent confession of identity in flux.

She stood in the doorway, neither inside nor out, a silhouette stitched into the pause between moments. Time didn’t move here—only shadows did.

Still as stone, she lingered where earth ended and sky began. The silence around her held its breath, waiting for her to decide whether to fall, or to fly.

She sat where the tide whispered and time forgot. The ocean moved on, but her shadow—rooted like memory—refused to leave.

The sea held its breath, and so did she—wrapped in stillness, crowned in shadow. Between sky and sand, only the silhouette knows what was whispered by the wind.

Balanced between stone and sea, the form becomes prayer—arms raised not in surrender, but in communion. Light pours like absolution, washing away all but the now.

The hat lowers not to hide but to hold a moment still, as if the sunset asked for silence. She sits with the ocean and the sky, caught between the last light and what it leaves behind.

There’s a calm in this gesture, as if strength is a slow breath held between fabric and skin. The gaze doesn’t ask for permission—it simply exists, unflinching and elemental.

The room forgets slowly, but she does not. Her silence stretches between peeling walls and broken time, wrapped in the kind of light that only visits places no longer lived in.
