Photography is the spell that halts the relentless march of time, holding a breath, a glance, and a heartbeat still, as a person, a society, and its culture remain suspended in a single frame.

In that pause, stories breathe; in that stillness, the hidden layers of life slowly reveal themselves. It was photography that first placed a lens between my eye and the world when I was a child, and I know it will be the last art to leave my hands. My camera is not just a tool, it is a confidant, a silent witness, and a loyal friend who has never, and will never, betray me.
