At First Light

$125.00

Photographed at dawn in Luxor, this image captures hot air balloons lifting gently into the morning sky as the sun breaks through the haze. Suspended between earth and light, the scene holds a sense of quiet anticipation—movement without rush, elevation without escape. The photograph reflects on beginnings, trust, and the fragile beauty of ascent, where the day unfolds slowly beneath drifting color.

Each photo transfer begins as an original photograph. Through a slow, tactile transfer process, the image is lifted from its original surface and re-embedded onto paper, allowing imperfections, texture, and erosion to become part of the final work.

No two transfers are ever the same. Variations in pressure, timing, and surface interaction create subtle shifts in areas of softness, loss, or distortion that speak to memory, migration, and the fragility of what we try to hold onto.

This is a one-of-one piece. Once completed, it cannot be replicated.

  • Size: 8×10 inches

  • Medium: Photo transfer using archival materials

  • Signed on the back

  • Unframed

Created slowly, intentionally, and without automation. This work honors process as much as outcome.
