In Darkness, These Eyes Can See explores the moment when safety breaks without warning - when the home, once a sanctuary, turns to danger. The shift is abrupt: light that once comforted now cuts deep; silence begins to echo.
These images sit at that moment between before and after, when the familiar remains intact yet is void of meaning. The home still stands, but the promise has vanished, leaving only a ghost of sanctuary carried by memory.
In the darkness that follows, vision adapts. The eyes learn to see differently, finding clarity not in light but in loss.
