The Caress Between Lifetimes · Large Collector Edition

The sun was descending when I found them: two apsaras leaning toward one another in the Cruciform Galleries of Angkor Wat, held in the warmth of a dying day. Around them, the temple carried movement and chant; here, between the figures, stillness gathered. Their closeness seemed less like carved gesture than a memory of breath preserved in stone.

At 44.3 × 17.7 inches, The Caress Between Lifetimes becomes a work of elongated architectural presence. The horizontal form allows the figures, surrounding stone, and luminous darkness to unfold across the wall like a quiet frieze. The image does not overwhelm by scale; it extends a field of stillness, allowing the viewer to live with the hush between shadow and gold as a daily presence.

I returned again and again, sketching, watching, waiting for the light to become more than illumination. The image was made on large-format black-and-white film, using long exposure and classical chiaroscuro to preserve the inward atmosphere of the gallery. Later, in quiet devotion, I hand-toned the print in gold to mirror the evening radiance I could not forget.

Printed on Hahnemühle Bamboo, signed, numbered, and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, this first numbered print from the 28-inch equivalent edition is prepared for collectors who wish to live with Angkor Wat at a fuller, more contemplative scale. It holds the wall as a quiet passage: carved figures, fading light, and sacred nearness carried into enduring form.

May it hold the room like the last gold of evening on stone.
