Silence. Human. Silence.

2012–Ongoing

This work is a meditation on time—before us, during us, and after we’re gone. The photographs move between landscapes and quiet human presences, but the central subject is silence itself: the silence of the earth, the body, and whatever remains beyond language.

The land is not backdrop here. It is witness. The figures do not announce themselves. They drift, kneel, vanish. Each gesture is a question. Each image holds a tension between presence and disappearance. Together, they form a sequence that asks: What does the world feel like without us? And what part of us continues as echo?

This work remains a quiet counterweight to my urban photography.
Where Convergence listens for meaning in the hum of the city, Silence.Human.Silence. listens for it in stillness. It’s not nostalgic. It does not mourn or retreat. It observes the shape of existence when stripped of urgency—and offers a space where myth, memory, and material converge.
