Shadows of Ourselves - Gallery Edition
Shadows of Ourselves - Gallery Edition
"We humans have an intense curiosity about worlds beyond our own (and so do I!). For as long as we’ve looked up at the stars, the timeless question has lingered: Are we truly alone here?
In sci-fi films, the storyline is familiar—an overpowering alien species descends upon Earth, taking, destroying, and eradicating everything in its path.
It’s easy to see why humanity is so fixated on this narrative. It mirrors us. It reflects how we’ve often treated our own planet. And we’ve already made plans for neighboring worlds, though whether they’ll ever come to fruition remains to be seen.
But what if we could change the narrative?
What if instead of conquerors, an alien race became the guardians of their newfound home? Could we, in turn, learn to protect our own? To see our surroundings with fresh eyes and recognize how unique and precious the source of life around us truly is?
Perhaps, in facing the shadows of ourselves, we can find not an end, but a new beginning."

The craft beneath the image

Hahnemühle PhotoRag Satin · 310 gsm · 100% Cotton
Printed on one of the world’s finest art papers — soft to the touch, luminous in tone. The subtle satin surface holds light the way morning mist holds silence. Each pigment sinks into its fibers with depth and patience, revealing blacks of quiet gravity and color that hums just beneath the surface. Made to endure, acid- and lignin-free — a paper for images meant to last. -
Aluwood Frames — Anthracite Black or Oak
Strength and warmth, held in balance. Each frame unites the clean precision of aluminium with the grounded calm of real wood. Available in anthracite black or oak — tones that echo the forest and its shadows. Frames are shipped without glass for a more natural, gallery-like presence; UV-glass can be added later if desired. -
Limited Edition of Ten — Signed & Certified
Each photograph exists in only ten editions — hand-signed, numbered, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity. Before sending, I inspect and sign every piece myself, ensuring that what reaches you carries both craft and intention. A small ritual of trust — the final breath before the image begins its life in your space.
A quiet consultation
Art chooses its place as much as we choose it. If you’d like advice — on size, framing, or finding the piece that belongs in your space — I’m here to help. I bring both an artist’s eye and a background in interior design, should you wish for a quieter kind of consultation.
