Arctic nights seem to defy the concept of beginning, as if time itself pauses in a suspended moment. Within this pristine realm, the only disturbance to the profound silence is the occasional crackle of ice breaking from neighboring icebergs. Amidst this surreal landscape, an arched iceberg frames a red sailing boat on the distant horizon, enhancing the scene with an ethereal quality. The gradations of blue in the Arctic's color palette hold countless mysteries, each hue revealing a hidden facet of this enigmatic environment.

As a self-taught photographer and avid traveler, I embarked on a mission to utilize my photography to support charitable causes. Joining the board of directors for The Forgotten International in 2019, I sought to leverage my skills to raise funds for those in need. Through the sale of books and prints, I aimed to shed light on the struggles faced by communities in developing countries and contribute to meaningful projects. Through my photography, I strive to inspire others, evoke emotions, and make a positive impact on the world around me.
