Time leaves its mark on all things, and nowhere is this more evident than in the quiet decay of ships left on hard standing. Padna is a photographic project inspired by the philosophy of wabi-sabi, celebrating the beauty of impermanence, imperfection, and the quiet dignity of age.

Through this collection, I explore the textures of crackled paint, the desiccated grain of weathered wood, and the shadows cast by forms long shaped by the sea and time. Each frame captures the poetry of these vessels—once alive with purpose, now frozen in their own quiet decline.

The gallery invites you to slow down and see beyond the surface, to find beauty in what remains and to reflect on the fleeting nature of all things. Padna is not merely a record of decay but a meditation on resilience, transformation, and the artistry of the imperfect.
