My photographs arise from such moments of encounter, when light, atmosphere and perception converge. They are not documents of landscape but traces of a singular situation that can never be repeated in exactly the same way. By acknowledging the irreducible uniqueness of each moment, the work invites reflection on the nature of place itself and on the ways places shape our perception and emotional experience.
