In the Dark, There Were Stars

Ever since I was a child I was frightened of the dark, afraid of what would be lurking. I always had to sleep with the lights on. My older brother knew about my fear and wanted to help me slowly overcome it. He invested in a lava lamp to give to me. I have forever been fascinated with the way it works. I would fall asleep watching the vibrant spheres swim in the water, glide past each other smoothly. The air bubbles would twinkle like stars in the night. It was mesmerizing. I wanted to capture that moment, so I used my brother’s camera.

Creativity is the ability to transform ideas into unique expressions. I use photography to capture moments I think are different or unique, to express my feelings that are difficult to be told through words. I enjoy how it changes my perspective on daily life that many overlook.
