A hand hovers with a cherry. A glass is half-lifted. Sauce clings to plates and laughter presses against the candlelight. Among the Gathered is a photographic series that lingers in the charged spaces of shared meals,where the table is crowded, voices overlap, and celebration unfolds in real time.
These are moments suspended: unposed, tactile, alive. They hold the warmth of company, the choreography of passing dishes and exchanging glances. Each frame invites you to sit among the diners;not as a guest, but as a witness to the beautiful, chaotic intimacy of people being together.
