“Captured deep within the bear’s domain, this series offers a rare glimpse into the quiet sovereignty of the grizzly. Amid tangled forests and fractured light, their forms emerge—vast, deliberate, and almost mythical. Shot while living under canvas and shadowed trees, these images reflect moments of stillness and silent exchange: a glance held, a presence shared. Here, the wild is not witnessed from afar, but entered with humility. This is a portrait of respect—an offering to the guardians of the untamed.”
