This abstract photograph, created with intentional camera movement, reimagines the lavender fields of Sénanque Abbey through a vivid, neon palette of bright green, purple, blue, and peach. Blurring the lines between landscape and impression, the image transforms the natural scene into a bold, dreamlike composition. Hints of the surrounding trees and rows of lavender and other flora dissolve into vibrant color fields, creating a contemporary interpretation of a timeless setting in southern France.

My work explores the landscape and environment as a sensory experience rather than as documentation. I am interested in how color and atmosphere shape perception, allowing a place to be felt, remembered, and internalized. Beauty is not treated as an endpoint, but as a language; one capable of carrying meaning, restraint, and emotional depth. Through color, atmosphere, and softened form, I translate the felt experience of place.
