Finally time to hike and leave the work stress behind me.
King winter payed a visit and snow and ice covers nature.
A bright blue sky with a crescent ice moon is the finishing touch!
Can't wait to see the full ice moon rising.

While studying photography in Pathshala, I developed new technical and aesthetic skills at an academic level and gained a fresh perspective on seeing the world around me. However, I still felt that something was missing. That missing piece was the ability to articulate aesthetics through language and to experience aesthetics with the basis of life itself.
During this time, I developed a deep desire to understand philosophy. Within a few months, I decided to pursue academic studies in philosophy. There were two main reasons behind this decision: first, to gain knowledge of philosophy, and second, to reshape my photographic view point through a philosophical angle—essentially, to integrate aesthetics with philosophy.
As I delved into this complex subject, I found myself particularly influenced by three philosophical ideologies: the philosophy of Nihilism, Engels and Marx’s materialism, and Gautama Buddha’s theory of Functionalism. These perspectives began shaping my understanding of life, humanity, society, and aesthetics. My way of seeing the world started to transform.
Nihilism and materialist philosophy argue that humans are not a special species. According to Buddha, life itself is full of suffering. Since humans are not inherently special and life has no predetermined purpose, people often experience restlessness. My photographs reflect this idea through landscapes, where excessive negative space in the frame symbolizes despair, purposelessness, and solitude in human life. Most people live under the illusion that they are unique compared to the surroundings. This belief prevents them from feeling truly connected to nature.
Lalon once said, "He and Lalon exist together, yet they are separated by infinite distance." Even though humans exist within nature, they somehow remain detached from it. In my frames, vast negative spaces with tiny human figures symbolize this very detachment. Here, nature is immense, and humans are small—serving as a reminder that humanity is not any superior to nature.
The mist in my photographs enhances the minimalist effect, further detaching people from their surroundings. The presence of human-made structures in the background represents our ongoing struggle to prove our superiority. However, the blurred, barely visible architecture behind the fog reflects the failure of this pursuit. Humanity is trapped in this endless contradiction, deepening its existential despair. Meanwhile, the fog thickens, and the distance between humans and nature continues to grow.

Bryant Park in New York hosts an annual Winter Village including shops and ice skating rink where there is an amazing festive spirit. At the center of the village stands a Norway spruce Christmas tree which is 50 feet tall, decorated with 30,000 red, white and blue lights along with an impressive 3,500 icicles, snowflakes and starburst ornaments.

Last week, during a winter morning walk with my dog in the vineyards, the weather was nothing special. But then I caught this scene out of the corner of my eye and thought, “Why not try?” The frost-covered vines stood in front of a large tree, its ice-coated branches almost looking like blossoms. Against the misty blue-gray backdrop, the moment felt unique—and I knew I had to share it with you.

A beautiful moment captured in Tallinn, Estonia, as the late afternoon sunlight gently illuminates a building against a backdrop of snowy streets and a sky drenched in shades of blue. Latvia and Estonia keep their Christmas trees up until well into the new year, so one can have a winter escape without the crowds!

Oh, the frosty world spun its tale,
A fragile gem that could not fail—
Yet fades to naught with warmth's caress,
Both infinite and motionless.
With arms that glitter, sharp and clear,
They stretch for miles, then disappear.
A maze that ends where it began,
A crafted jewel with no artisan.
Its center dark, yet bright as day,
A frozen bloom that melts away.
Born of chaos, yet perfect spun,
A fleeting moment, yet weighs a ton.
"Who made you so?" the whispers plea,
"Are you a riddle or decree?"
The snowflake laughed, a silent sound,
"I'm both nowhere and all around!"
So marvel, dear, at winter's jest,
A fleeting truth that won't confess.
For in this realm of ice and sky,
The wondrous lives, yet dares to die.
