The idea of the series is based on my search for tranquility and the feeling of calmness I capture when taking photos. I enter this sort of trance when I start to compose images and conceptualize how they will appear on a screen or a canvas.

In one of my travels, I came across sets of mangroves secluded from one another as though they were contemplating their own existence in this world. I saw it as a perfect depiction of my idea of calmness and quietness—something I have been longing for since the beginning of this perilous journey of learning.
