Darkness and Light (2024)
Riga, Latvia. The winter months. There are few places in the world colder and darker than this…
In a space that seems to be shrouded in complete darkness, light finds a way to protrude and somehow, warmth emerges.
It is the New Year’s, a time to reconnect with family, friends, and have a nice time. It is a holiday of light and happiness.
It is a very life-affirming time: by the celebrations and fireworks, people declare that they exist and that they will break through no matter how cold and miserable life may seem.
Shot entirely on 16mm Kodak Vision3 500T and pushed 2 stops.
