Modern society is losing authenticity, calmness and community. It is becoming fake, hectic and isolated. My photography searches for what remains. I shoot analog and black-and-white film as it forces to slow down and look with intention. There is a directness to imprinting light on a piece of film, which embraces this value of authenticity that I look for. I am fascinated by the contrasts around us and the necessity to live in the borders between. Beauty emerging from harshness, stillness within movement, individual bodies creating collective meaning. These borders are where truth lives. My images try to hold these contradictions without resolving them, because understanding comes from sitting with tension, not erasing it. What I capture are moments that feel like prayer: people moving together, quiet gestures, light finding concrete. To me, they are evidence that authenticity, calmness and community still exist if you look carefully enough.
