This scene evoked a sense of serenity within me and felt like an invitation to meditate. The gentle gradient of colors, transitioning from purple to pink, brought to mind the soothing hues of a Rothko painting. The presence of the moon casting its soft glow upon the ice sheet lent a surreal quality to the surroundings, as if I were immersed in a dreamlike state.

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.
