Holding Light

2024

A moment shaped by time, light, and quiet observation within holding light.

Provenance

While creating Holding Light, I was drawn to the atmosphere and subtle shifts in light and movement that defined the scene.

About This Work

Holding Light brings together multiple moments within a single frame, allowing time to unfold rather than be fixed. Created using layered exposures and in-camera techniques, the work moves between observation and abstraction, where forms overlap and gradually resolve. Rather than focusing on a single subject, the image explores atmosphere, rhythm and the quiet relationships between light and space. Designed to be lived with, the piece reveals new details over time, encouraging slower viewing and repeated return. Presented as an archival pigment print on Hahnemühle Pearl, available in A2 and A1 limited editions.. Prints fit standard frames..
