The Long Way Home is a series shaped by wandering rather than destination. Moving through the city at different hours, I followed shifts in light, colour, and architectural rhythm, letting the streets set the pace.

These photographs are not about arrival, but about what unfolds in between, the glow of a façade after sunset, the way buildings soften or sharpen as the day turns. Taken together, they reflect a slower way of seeing, where place reveals itself through repetition, variation, and pause.
