A bright streetlight glowing through mist against a dark night sky.

This project moves through nights, rooms, bodies, and fleeting encounters. Photographed in fragments and under direct flash, the images trace a period of youth shaped by intimacy, restlessness, and the unstable rhythms of the city.

Together, they form a record of bodies briefly illuminated, trying to stay present within surroundings that are constantly shifting.
