Travel photography, for me, is about getting close rather than going far. I’m fascinated by how people inhabit their surroundings, how culture reveals itself in everyday routines, shared spaces, and unremarkable moments that quietly define a place. These images are small pauses in motion, observations of how different lives are lived across the world, and how, beneath the surface, familiarity exists everywhere.
I’ve always been fascinated by street art—a raw, unfiltered expression of culture, rebellion, and storytelling. For me, it’s the museum of the present, constantly evolving with the pulse of society.
Stoned is not concerned with monuments or historical footnotes. It lingers instead on presence. On the weight of silence. On chipped faces, softened edges, and gestures frozen at the exact point where intention became permanence. Stone does not perform, explain, or persuade. It simply endures. There is something deeply romantic in that refusal to change, in the calm certainty of staying exactly where you are while the world insists on becoming something else.
