Photography
My photography grows from the same curiosity and reverence that guide my painting. Working with my 15-year-old DSLR and a simple 55mm lens, I move in close — to plants, stones, fungi, and textures — to reveal what usually escapes our gaze. Through these intimate images, I hope to create moments of stillness, where we can pause, marvel, and reconnect with the raw beauty of matter itself.
We often know our human neighbors — but do we know our more-than-human ones? With that guiding question I walked the same forest path next to my home almost daily, meeting fungi, plants, and animals as neighbors along the way. These photographs are the traces of those encounters, an exploration of presence, attention, and quiet kinship.

Mesmerized by ochres as material, I sought to capture the raw, mesmerizing beauty of these ancient formations in the Sinai Peninsula — traces of deep time, tens of millions of years old. What began as a study of color quickly revealed itself as artwork in its own right, nature’s paintings, carrying the textures, tones, and spirit of the land.
