In my photography, I frequently enjoy exploring urban areas, focusing on people and scenes on the street. In 2023, as I began navigating a transition in life, I found myself seeking more solitude. During this period, I gave myself the gift of time alone. Going to a beach town during the offseason, I referred to this month as my "artist residency." Shutting down from contact with those I love and genuinely having free time created an unexpected tension. Working through this discomfort ultimately opened a new artistic channel. Naturally enough, as I explored my new environment along the beach, the waves and the movement of water along the shore drew my attention. Following the fluctuations of the sea with my camera became a meditation, helping me find some healing and peace. This series of images is part of a continuing journey arising from this search for solitude.
