Exhibitions & Explorations

Fragments of Presence, Held in Light

Each series is a quiet unfolding—exploring what we overlook, what we carry, and what remains when everything else fades.

These works are invitations—to pause, to feel, to see differently.
Through light, shadow, and stillness, I explore the spaces where emotion lingers and meaning reveals itself.


This is not just what I’ve witnessed—it’s what has stayed with me.

Virutal Exhibtion

The Moments


A collection of black-and-white images that capture what often goes unnoticed—small gestures, passing glances, the stillness between movements.


The Moments invites you to slow down, to see not just what happened, but what was felt.
