SOUTH EAST ASIA
Photography is how I think. Ideas start as images long before they become concepts.
Travel sharpens the way I look — slowing me down, bringing me closer to people, places, and their rhythms. I’m drawn to honest moments: light, texture, gestures, and what happens in between. It’s how I observe, remember, and make sense of the world.
8 MONTHS OF EXPLORATION
After years of working in fashion for international companies, I quit my job and left. I didn’t have a plan beyond needing space — from pace, from production, from constant output.
I spent eight months moving through Southeast Asia. Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Cambodia, Myanmar — and later Nepal. I moved slowly, without deadlines, letting places set the rhythm. Days blurred into landscapes, conversations, and long stretches of observation.
Many of the photographs from that time were lost years later when a hard drive failed. At first, that felt painful. But what stayed was something else — the way those months reshaped how I look, how I move, how I listen.
That journey taught me that not everything needs to be captured to be held. Some experiences live better as memory, shaping the work quietly from underneath.
