Grace carries a double meaning in Portuguese (graça): it may refer to a blessing, but also to amusement. Rather than define these meanings, these photographs move toward the moment when grace quietly appears, offering a counterpoint to the dizzying speed of contemporary life.

Seeking Grace (2023–ongoing) traces fleeting moments of tenderness, mystery, and stillness—moments in which the visible seems to touch something beyond itself. In a sun-warmed stone ceiling, an empty tennis court, a group of gymnasts practicing outdoors, or a girl by the pool, the images inhabit a contemplative territory between human presence and absence.

Rooted in an ongoing immersion in Southern Europe and in the recent discovery that I live with aphantasia—the inability to form mental images—this project unfolds through dérive, an attentive, open-ended wandering through lived spaces. At heart, it is an exercise in faith.
