Title: Respite

Subtitle: Relief

Blurb/Shorttext:

Respite is a photo book that offers a visual meditation on the significance and tranquility of stillness in an age defined by relentless productivity. Modern society clamours for your labor and attention; it harvests it, leaving no space untouched. Our worth is tied to our output, living and dying at the hands of a tottering, but well-oiled, machine.

Through a collection of images, the book invites viewers to pause and reflect on the quiet moments that offer respite from the frenetic pace of everyday life. Each photograph serves as a reminder to slow down, reflect, and, in turn, reclaim our sense of agency in an increasingly demanding world.  

What holds you back from serenity? What holds you hostage from finding comfort in stillness?
