A snapshot of a place that felt both wild and peaceful. I traveled with a close friend, carrying only four rolls of film, which helped me slow down and be present. We camped just steps from the lake, where hippos were never too far and birds stirred at dawn. Being so close to water, wildlife and thick vegetation brought a kind of quiet contemplation — the kind that settles in your body before your mind catches up. These images are my way of holding onto that feeling.
