Soft morning light filters through sheer curtains onto a quiet dining room. A long table with empty chairs sits in shadow, except for one gently lit by the window. A basket rests at the center, and a folded stroller sits off to the side. Photos line the far wall. The room feels recently occupied, but now still.

A set of moss-covered stone steps in angled afternoon light. Shadows from a nearby railing fall diagonally across the stairs. The moss is uneven, the surface worn, with scattered leaves resting in the crevices.

Nighttime view of Monaco’s harbor with luxury yachts docked in the illuminated marina. The city rises steeply behind the water, glowing with golden lights under a dark blue sky, with a mountain silhouetted in the background.

Saying it Out Loud

Here always

A close-up of a person’s hand resting gently on a worn, graffiti-covered concrete wall. The wall is cracked and layered with faded red and blue spray paint. The hand is steady and open, suggesting quiet presence or reflection.

That Moment

And tracing its contours

Close-up of a woman’s neck and long, wavy brown hair blowing wildly in the wind, with her face tilted upward and mostly out of frame, creating a sense of motion and intense emotion.

No One Asks Who You Are Mid-Dribble

Black-and-white photo of a pickup basketball game behind a chain-link fence. One player is mid-jump with a ball, another defends, and a third runs in the background. The image is blurred and grainy, capturing motion, anonymity, and the raw energy of street basketball.
