It has been a while since my last post here.

Not because there was nothing to say — but because life, in all its movement, quietly carried me elsewhere for a time.

 

Much of my energy went into building stories in motion: working on my YouTube channel, learning the rhythm of short-form video on TikTok, and travelling — sometimes far, sometimes just far enough to see familiar places differently. Somewhere in between, we were also learning how to belong again. Zadar is still relatively new to us, yet it now feels like home in a way that only time can create.

I didn’t forget this space, or those who find their way here. I simply needed to live a little more before returning.

Along the way, I made photographs — not many, but a few that stayed close to my heart. Not the loud ones, not the perfect ones, but the quiet images that arrive when you’re paying attention. They carry a sense of solitude, the kind that often lives inside the act of creating, and at the same time, they hold warmth — like autumn light resting gently on things before moving on.

So this post is both a pause and a continuation.

A small collection of images made in between chapters.

As we move forward, I wish you — and myself — happy endings where they are needed, and new beginnings where they are quietly forming. May we keep creating, even when it feels lonely at times, and may we always find warmth in the light we choose to follow.

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year.

Thank you for being here.
