Emerging from five years in Japan, “Shadows” transcends conventional visual storytelling through a collection of color and black-and-white photographs.

Each image captures a moment delicately balanced between reality and imagination, where light and shadow transform fleeting instants into timeless echoes.

In this work, the line between the seen and unseen blurs, reflecting a culture rich in tradition yet constantly evolving. It embodies the duality of the present intertwined with the ancient past.

“Shadows” is more than a collection; it is a visual symphony that challenges artistic boundaries. Here, shadows become vessels for untold stories, inviting exploration of the beauty hidden within the chiaroscuro of existence.
