Paradise (A1)

Rooted in place yet elevated into the realm of the mythic, Paradise captures a view from Kaş, Turkey, looking out across the sea toward the Greek island of Megisti. Created using the cyanotype process, the image holds a timeless quality—its cool blue tones suggesting memory, sea, and sky all at once.
 
In the foreground, a curved ladder arcs over the edge of dark rock, inviting a descent into the Aegean below. The water, textured and mottled like ancient glass, stretches toward a softly undulating horizon. Floating beyond the edge of the visible is Megisti—distant, dreamlike, and edged with the hush of ancient stories.
 
The gold leaf sky lends it an otherworldy quality it becomes a radiant, gilded expanse that transforms the everyday into the eternal. The gold doesn’t just illuminate the seascape—it sanctifies it. The interplay between the cool cyanotype and warm gold evokes the tension between longing and belonging, nostalgia and transcendence.
 
Here, Paradise is not just a place; it is a memory held in sunlight and saltwater, in the space between one shore and another.
