This ongoing photographic series follows the spontaneous choreographies of the natural world. Each image isolates a fleeting composition — water folding into itself, mountains in reflection, branches etching calligraphy against the sky. Rather than treating “landscape” as backdrop, the photographs frame earth’s own gestures as active movement scores. Juxtapositions of industrial structures with forests and rivers reveal how patterns repeat across scales, from human-made grids to ecological weavings.
The work is a constellation of encounters in continuous dissolution and formation, gathered across topography and seasons. It moves between intimacy and vastness, attentive to how nonhuman forms echo human gesture while also exceeding it.The series blurs the line between documentation and poetics to invite viewers to perceive form not as static, but as part of a living choreography — suggesting that movement is not only the domain of the body but the language of the earth itself.
