The East

Full surrender — being there with every sense awake. I traveled with my camera ready, but also with a gaze willing to be moved. Every moment felt worthy of being captured: real textures, saturated colors, fleeting scenes that carried their own quiet intensity. Part of it was my enthusiasm, the sheer joy of being there; and part of it was the beauty that reveals itself to anyone who knows how to look.

India pulled me out of the Western rhythm and into an unreal sense of time — a space where the simplest gestures take on spiritual depth. Through my images, I try to honor that feeling: presence, openness, and the subtle transformations that happen when you allow a place to shape you.

What I share here is only a small fragment of everything I lived and photographed — a glimpse into an experience that still resonates deeply within me.
