Between Tides
This image was created in the brief interval where forces overlap rather than replace one another.
Full moon. Full tide. Complete darkness. And a moving light carried through space.
The tree stands not as an object, but as a crossing.
Ocean becomes mist.

Boyacá Nocturne
On a fog-filled night in the Andes Mountains near Garagoa, Colombia, light entered the mist and became visible, drifting across the hillside as if it were a living thing.
What appears here is not simply illuminated ground, but an encounter. The fog allows light to exist in space.
Price range: $67.20 through $2,140.00
Monument of Light I
This image was made near Miraflores, Colombia, where a single tree has stood long enough to outlive memory. Long enough to witness lives passing beneath it.To hold conversations, shelter travelers, and cast shade over moments that were never recorded.
This tree is not isolated. It is inhabited by history.
By footsteps. By pauses. By the quiet exchanges between people and place.
What we see here is not just form, but accumulation.
Of time. Of presence. Of use.
In this work, the tree becomes more than structure.
It becomes a gathering point.
A witness.
A constant in a landscape shaped by change.
This photograph is not about capturing a moment, but about recognizing duration.
The idea that some forms do not simply exist.
They hold.
Price range: $67.20 through $2,140.00
Mother of the Moon
The tree opens itself around the moon, not to frame it, but to hold it.
Its branches arc inward like arms, creating a space of protection rather than display. The moon, usually distant and dominant, is rendered small here. Vulnerable. Cradled within a structure older, heavier, and rooted to the earth. The usual order is reversed. The celestial is no longer the parent. It is the child.
Price range: $87.20 through $2,160.00
Residual Field
Here, the body of the tree has relinquished its vertical claim. What remains is not a form, but a pressure. The light no longer sculpts upward. It spreads outward. The shadows lengthen and take on autonomy, extending the subject beyond its physical edge.
