  1. 1. On Reading

    A quiet, intimate sequence of black-and-white photographs that captures people absorbed in the act of reading—on trains, in cafés, at home—focusing on posture, hands, faces and the play of light and shadow to evoke the private world conjured by a book. Through spare, carefully composed images the work celebrates solitude, concentration and the small, tender gestures of readers, turning ordinary moments into a contemplative study of how reading shapes presence and inner life.
