There was a moment when I thought the light had shifted. But it wasn’t the light—it was she who stirred within it. Or perhaps it was the sandstone remembering her shape.
At the western gate, the heat softened and the cicadas fell quiet. The golden hush of dusk drew her forward: not from motion, but from stillness so complete it gleamed. Her gesture didn’t reach. It received.
In the studio, as I worked with the exposed negative, I kept recalling how the stone had glowed. I shaped the chiaroscuro to hold the memory in balance—not for accuracy, but for presence. The gold I later added was not embellishment. It was restoration.
She did not speak, but she was heard.
—
She stood
in a gate of fire—
but did not burn.
Her stillness
spoke in radiant hush.
One hand lifted
not in greeting,
but in memory.
Stone breathed.
Light bowed.
Time turned to ash
at her feet.
There are names
the gods forgot—
but she
remembers
them all.

A staircase inhales, and silence thickens between stone scales. Each step remembers serpents once carved, pearl-light gathering in its breath. In this luminous flash gem, a traveller climbs toward hush and revelation, where silence itself becomes flame. A tale brief as an exhalation, yet lingering like pearl-light beneath moss.

A crocodile waits in hush where river bends to moonlight. From the silt, a pearl-lit eel rises, whispering a bargain of scale and tide. What is given is never returned whole: hunger meets silence, storm keeps watch, and the river writes its law in breath.

The blue hour settles over Angkor like a hush in stone. Naga coils dissolve into shadow, carvings soften into silence, and hunger without teeth endures. A sketch becomes listening. Each fracture is a hymn, each hollow a river. A field note on patience, memory, and the stillness that lingers.

There are moments when Angkor does not merely reflect light—it becomes it. Beneath the western gate of Angkor Wat, as the sun drew its final breath, a single apsara revealed herself in the stillness. Carved in fluid poise, she did not seem made, but remembered—framed in a halo of fire-shaped stone, aglow with the gold of vanishing day.
The silence was thick with prayer. Cicadas slowed. Even the breeze seemed to listen. In that hush, her hand traced a gesture of unspoken offering. I stood before her not as artist, but as witness.
Captured on large-format black-and-white film using natural light and long exposure, the image was shaped with classical chiaroscuro to draw out presence from shadow. Each print is hand-toned in gold by the artist, not to add, but to recall the warmth that once anointed her form.
This signed and numbered work is part of a strictly limited edition of 25 + 2 Artist’s Proofs. Printed on museum-grade Hahnemühle Bamboo paper, it is both relic and revelation—a tactile offering of light and silence.
She is not a photograph. She is the breath before devotion.
