The edge of the frame

None of it is real. And yet — more real than the hours I spent scrolling through lives that were never mine to live.

We spend our lives arranging light. Not to capture what is, but to briefly hold what is about to disappear.

And maybe — just maybe — that is the deepest image we will ever make.

Every photograph is a small lie we tell against time. I place a figure in a frozen sea. A chair in an empty room. A window facing another window.
