There Will Be Ecstasy.
There Will Be XTC by Traumprinz was a track I happened to come across while I was in a store in Prague. The track perfectly summarises my time in the city, being among friends, interacting with strangers and strange surroundings, finding myself gliding through an ocean of euphoria and dysphoria. These photos are an attempt to capture the constant shift in emotions, alien mental and physical surroundings, and the ephemeral infinite adrenaline rush I found myself in. I hope to evoke the essence of what this trip was and meant to me; its unpredictable, serene, and arcane nature induced with moments teeming with life and excitement. Shot on Kodak Film.
There was ecstasy.

A collection of three pictures I took while in Brighton. They served as a visual moodboard for a piece I composed not so long ago.

a conversation between my surroundings and i.
an eerie sensation engulfed me as i embarked upon my journey to the Himalayas that had my heart pounding. as i began to move, a conflict rose within me; the urban cityscapes, fast-paced lives and the cacophony of sounds with our heads held down against the serene landscapes, a space for us to hold our heads high and breathe in silence in its purest form; the life i left behind passed before me in quick succession as stills, while the picture in front of me stood still, such was the conversation between the transient and the everlasting. what once felt eerie now evokes a sense of serenity within me.
interesting how "eerie" and "serene" have the same amount of stress placed on the syllables, yet are worlds apart.
