FLIGHT

Each night brought something different, seen only after the capture. One fateful night yielded a series unlike any other — a dragon coiling through green light, a phoenix rising, an owl materialising in the aurora's curtains, a crane preening, a seagull caught mid-arc. Forms so fleeting they could not be truly witnessed in the moment, only found afterward. Like the experienced Inuit elders who saw and shared stories in the shapes above, the camera caught what the eye could not hold.

Two weeks in arctic weather nights above Yellowknife, Northwest Territories. Five cameras set to record the sky's offerings. Timelapse demands surrender — frame the shot, then step back. What happens next is not ours to decide.

Flight has always carried what words cannot — freedom, transcendence, the will to move beyond what is fixed to the ground. These forms, born of light and time, remind us that to truly soar is not always a physical act. Sometimes it is the courage to wait in the dark, to trust the unknown, and to let something greater take wing on your behalf.

The abstraction was never imposed. It was found patiently, on nights lit with hope.
