Childhood, I'm looking at the sun#2

There is a moment in early life before the world is named—when vision is purely tactile, and light is not merely seen, but felt. This series returns to that primal threshold, recalling the quiet wonder of looking at the sun through half-closed, squinting eyes. In that blinding, warm radiance, rigid forms dissolve into a soft, vibrating spectrum of movement and color.

In Childhood, I’m Looking at the Sun, the forest is reimagined through this untamed, intuitive gaze. Here, trees are not passive subjects of a landscape; they emerge as living companions, ancient presences imbued with the quiet spirit of the woods. Light serves as the primary alchemical agent—piercing through shifting leaves, melting into fluid motion, and weaving a tapestry of warmth and shadow that mirrors the innocence of early discovery.

Formed entirely in-camera through a precise choreography of multiple exposures, each image captures the raw vitality of a single, fleeting instance without digital manipulation or collage. The process reaches its culmination through dedicated RAW color development, transforming captured frequencies of light into deeply personal, painterly compositions.

Childhood, I’m Looking at the Sun is a soft yet imperative call to slow down. It is a portal to that forgotten state of open perception, inviting the viewer to step beyond logic, surrender to the atmosphere, and remember the magical immediacy of seeing the world for the very first time.
