My favorite image from this project.
Taken under the red lights by the beach, the ones used to protect the turtles, to preserve something fragile without disturbing it.
Awar and Nepapery, together, in Saint Laurent.
No performance, no distance just presence. Just a quiet, instinctive connection that didn’t need to be explained.
By that point, everything had slowed down. We weren’t thinking about the images anymore, or the project, or what it needed to become. We were just there, holding onto the moment as it was unfolding.
It felt like everything we had been searching for naturally came together in that scene.
Family, friendship, protection, intimacy, and that sense of being grounded without even realizing it.
There’s something about being with someone who knows you completely, who shares your history, your roots, your way of being. It creates a kind of safety, a space where nothing needs to be justified.
Maybe that’s what stayed with me the most.
Not just the place, not just the light, but that feeling of being held by the environment, by the people around you, by something deeper that you can’t fully define.
That’s what HOME became for me through this project. 🤍
