My photographic journey begins with wild animals where they live, often in harsh and remote places, with the understanding that I am the outsider. In these places, landscapes are not backdrops but living systems, shaped by environment, distance, and time.

Here, on the wild edge, observation moves in both directions. The images grow from shared presence, curiosity, and respect — brief intersections between observers within a larger, enduring environment. Over time, these encounters shape how I see the world, reminding me that we are part of a larger system defined by balance, hardship, renewal, resilience, and the shared conditions that sustain life.
