This series reflects my personal connection with the wind, a force that often goes unnoticed yet is deeply felt. The images capture moments where the wind shapes the world around us—moving through landscapes, stirring emotions, and guiding our paths. The accompanying text offers a contemplative voice, exploring how the wind influences not just the environment, but the choices we make and the freedom we seek. I tried to tell a feeling, the photos and words create a narrative that is both introspective and universal, tracing the subtle ways the wind touches our lives.

Often, I prefer rain over sunshine.

Afternoons, dry air in the apartment, suffocates with the windows, the cubicles.     

 

Often, I long for the wild, not the city.

In the wild, a wide road, no worry, no choices.    

 

Often, I favor farming over technology.

Doubtful, ego born from water and soil, slowly consumed by technology. 

 

Often, can’t resist watching clouds.

The shadows of wind, tracks of freedom.

Can’t stop watching,

Wondering where the wind will go.

 

One day, I finally ran forward.

Then I realized, the wind followed close behind.

With every stride, the wind whispered louder,

Quietly tracing, the path of freedom.
