Duration: one year
Time: 30th of January 2020 till 30th of January 2021
Place: wherever I woke up
Materials: my cell phone
Action: to capture the first light I saw

For an entire year, I diligently captured the first light I encountered upon waking each morning. Over the course of 299 days, I successfully achieved this goal. However, there were 67 days where the task slipped my mind.

In most instances, I photographed windows from various angles as they welcomed the morning light. At times, this initial illumination emerged from a lamp or was a reflection on the wall.

As time went on, I began to discern a link between my forgetfulness and my emotional state. Stronger emotions seemed to coincide with lapses in my daily routine. Consequently, some marvelous mornings and a handful of challenging ones slipped away from being immortalized through this project.

In hindsight, viewing the entire year, I perceive it as a playful tapestry woven by an unseen hand, infused with a sense of black-and-white humor and a touch of bittersweet beauty.
