This Isn’t What It Seems

What if the city you saw wasn’t really there? I’ve been chasing reflections that distort, surprise, and speak back.

A vivid sunset casts fiery orange and red reflections through rippled glass panes, creating a distorted yet mesmerizing view of silhouetted palm trees and beach.

This series is about reflections.

I’m drawn to how they twist what’s in front of me. For a second, the world feels altered, off, beautiful, not quite real. Reflections reshape people, colors, light. They turn sidewalks into skies. They spark something in me.

I’m especially pulled to reflections that behave unexpectedly. Glass that burns brighter than the street it’s copying. Water that flips the city upside down.

Sometimes I see myself in it all. In a window. A mirror. I never expect it, and it always makes me stop. That pause becomes its own kind of reflection.

These are moments I want to hold onto.
So I’m collecting them here.
Watch this space.
