Stillness, Then Light
In 2021, I visited a beautiful small island. The scene—quiet, expansive, and edged by a distant lighthouse—stayed with me. Something about that moment lingered. As I stood there in the afternoon light, I made a silent wish: to return one day and see it again at sunset.
Years later, I did return. Without knowing, I had booked a place that faced the very lighthouse I once stood before. Through the living room window, I watched the landscape shift as the sun fell—just as I had imagined, yet entirely new. It felt like a small miracle. A quiet circle had closed, not with grandeur, but with grace.
This series is born from that experience. It is not only about a place, but about presence. The kind that deepens with time, with returning, with paying attention. Each image holds stillness before light—moments that arrived gently, unforced, fulfilling something I had long carried.
In these photographs, I try not to capture, but to honor. To honor the light that comes after stillness. The wish that waits without asking. And the life that sometimes answers—softly, but exactly.
