Diffused Glare

The images begin with an autumn coastal scene shaped by wind and direct sunlight. Light passing through air and vegetation dissolves the scene into a translucent field, where optical effects replace descriptive detail.

The image is formed entirely in camera through the precise alignment of the lens, filter, and camera position, turning what is typically considered an optical flaw into the core structure of the work.

What usually blinds the eye becomes here the very substance of the image: a way of seeing light itself, rather than seeing through it to the world beyond.
