Forms of Silence

2012–2021

Forms of Silence is the quiet twin to Convergence. Where that project captures the layered, multicultural rhythm of the modern city, this one emerges from solitude—made over eight years of walking alone in landscapes that felt untethered from time.

Photographed between 2013 and 2021, these images trace the early stages of a deeper way of seeing. Long before I turned my lens toward city life, I was drawn to remote terrain and fleeting light—listening for the silent, unspoken language of the Earth. I didn’t know it at the time, but these moments were shaping how I would eventually move through the world with a camera.

Many of the themes I now explore—intuition, presence, wonder—took root here. Each image is less a document and more a quiet exchange, a ritual of attention.

I’m drawn to places that feel unfamiliar, even otherworldly. These forms ask us to see without assumption, to return to the world with fresh eyes. And in that act of seeing, something deeper begins to stir—something like care.
