According to legends, Shiva resides in Machapuchare - the most beautiful mountain in the Himalayas. At the foot of this majestic mountain lies the village of Chomrong. No roads are leading to the village, and to get there, one must walk for an entire day. However, Chomrong has a basketball court where, several times a year, teams from surrounding villages gather to choose the best. Although the players are not professionals and do not often play basketball, the emotions during the game are as intense as those on the American NBA courts.

In my work, I focus on travel and documentary projects that reflect the culture, daily life, and labor of people in various parts of the world. I use analog techniques, which help better convey each scene's unique atmosphere and depth.
