About Me

This site began because I’ve always loved writing — but physical notebooks never lasted long with me. I move around often, and paper tends to get lost. A website, I realized, could be a quiet, portable place to gather all the little pieces that make up my thoughts.

Creating this space has helped me grow in ways I didn’t expect. The more I write, the more I fall in love with it. Words give me structure, reflection, and occasionally, a small sense of stillness.

I mostly photograph landscapes and passing moments — skies, clouds, sunrises and sunsets, the ocean, open air. I rarely take portraits, and I almost never appear in the frame myself. I suppose I like observing more than being seen — keeping a bit of distance between me and the world.

The name Mosaics came to me after some thought. It felt right. My life has never been one smooth, continuous narrative — it’s always been fragments: of places, people, emotions, thoughts, memories. Each one is small on its own, but together they form a whole. This site is a reflection of that — an ongoing mosaic.

I read a lot — mostly literature, memoirs, and quiet essays on life and meaning. I also listen to podcasts, and sometimes find myself jotting down thoughts sparked by them. I don’t claim to have answers, but I like sitting with the questions.

Haze is a space for personal reflections — a kind of open journal. Sometimes I write about things I’ve seen, heard, or felt. It’s not always polished, but it’s honest. Just a place to hold thoughts before they drift away.

Echos is a quiet archive of what’s moved me — pages I’ve read, songs I’ve replayed, voices from podcasts, scenes from films. Not reviews, just traces: a thought, a feeling, a line that stayed. Like echoes, they fade, but never quite disappear.

Gallery is simply a space to share the photographs I feel quietly proud of — images that captured a feeling, a shade of light, a moment I didn’t want to lose.
