Before the camera, there were worlds.
ᚦ
These were made before the camera became my tool.
These were made before the camera years.
When the world outside felt unstable, I began building places that would not move.
With only a manual and patience, I learned to shape land from nothing —
terrain, light, and distance arranged until something quiet appeared.
These were not depictions of real places.
They were attempts at sanctuary.
Long before this labyrinth had a name,
I was already constructing rooms to stand inside.
