Moments of waiting often become spaces for quiet discovery. They invite me to find solace in overlooked beauty — to notice what usually slips by unseen. My photographs emerge from these pauses, when stillness turns into reflection, and time itself begins to speak.

This project, once called Stories from the Stillness, evolved into The Wait — an exploration of those in-between moments that reveal quiet narratives in ordinary spaces.

I’m drawn to empty chairs, forgotten objects, and subtle traces of recent presence — a half-full glass, a crumpled napkin, a phone, or a pen left behind. These small things make me pause. They seem to whisper stories of those who have just gone — quiet presences lingering in absence.

As I spend time with these objects, light and shadow reveal their emotions. Around them lies a calm — not mere silence, but a stillness that invites reflection. In that waiting, the artist in me awakens, refreshed by observation and time.

Each image becomes a gentle conversation — a fragment of time asking the viewer to notice the traces of people, both present and gone. These photographs are not just records of what was seen, but meditations on memory, impermanence, and the subtle marks we all leave behind.

Through The Wait, I hope to evoke connection — to invite others into these quiet spaces, where the ordinary turns poetic, and silence begins to tell its own story. It is in these suspended moments that time stretches, allowing emotions to breathe. What begins as a study of stillness becomes a reflection on being — on how presence fades, how memory endures, and how even the simplest of things can hold the tenderness of life itself.
