The collection comes from a need to escape—an attempt to break free from an unyielding reality. I created places that felt like where I wanted to be and where I already was. These worlds sit between reality's grit and the pull of impossible dreams. With the natural world’s wonders out of reach, imagination became my way to adventure—turning those limits into endless exploration. What started as a way to pass the time at the office grew into something much more meaningful. The series pulls from my past and present, drawing on memories and the things right around me. Sometimes, they’re sparked by photos I take, things I see online, hear, dream, remember, or even things people tell me—turning fleeting impressions into places that feel familiar and entirely new.
