This project follows my journey through Zion National Park in Utah, an expedition shaped by isolation, scale, and quiet observation. Moving through vast red cliffs and narrow passages, I became immersed in the textures of the landscape: the deep rust of the rock faces, the soft moss growing in their shadows, and the bark and stone meeting in unexpected harmony.

I was drawn to contrast. The way darkness settles into the creases of the canyon walls while harsh light spills across them. The shadows cast by towering cliffs, the small rivers cutting through the terrain, and the icy blue reflections that broke through the warmth of the reds. These moments felt suspended in time both overwhelming and grounding.

Climbing above the canyon and walking its edges was refreshing, almost meditative. In those moments, isolation became clarity. With no distractions, I focused on what was in front of me: rock, water, light, and silence. Zion revealed itself as a place of constant opposition darkness and brightness coexisting, creating a landscape that felt raw, powerful, and deeply magical.
