A project that became another project

For 52 weeks, I photographed the sunrise from one spot—a personal challenge spanning two years, with the final year being 2020, a time we all remember for its chaos and change.

One still lockdown morning revealed the quiet power of renewal. No matter how uncertain life felt, the sun kept rising—offering warmth, light, and hope.

Blending photography and poetry, this collection captures simple, healing moments that remind us: even through chaos, beauty endures.
