JOURNAL
The Journal gathers personal essays born from my reflections and lived encounters while photographing animals, a space to explore presence, consciousness, and the mystery of another gaze.
The Animal Gaze
A reflection on animal presence, consciousness, and the mystery of being seen by another mind.
Across from my house, beside a river, there is a colony of wild geese. I have been watching them every day for years. When I go out with food, they run toward me, and I watch them as they eat, thinking the same thing I always think: how do they see me? What is going through their minds? What does it feel like to be a goose?
