“There is no coming to consciousness without pain.” — Carl Jung, Psychology and Alchemy, Collected Works vol. 12

The “INITIATION” series is a diaristic account of my experience in Bali, tracing the moments where I felt uncentered, confronted, and eventually transformed by this place. The works move through states of being lost, catching sight of something deeper within myself, and surrendering to a process that offers no complete answers. Each scene holds fragments of Bali as I encountered it, from its density and spiritual atmosphere to the way nature continually presses into human spaces. Rather than a resolved narrative, this collection presents a series of internal shifts that remain open for the viewer to recognize in their own way.
