South of Orange is a photographic exploration of a landscape shaped by mundanity and familiarity. Through the transformative power of photography, I open the door to stories—both imagined and remembered—and uncover a sense of mystery rooted in both the past and the future.

I find it impossible to be critical or ironic. Instead, the scenes before me become strange, quietly beautiful, and unexpectedly alien. From them, a series of unusual and compelling questions emerge.

I invite viewers to stand beside my camera, to discover their own stories, questions, and moments of wonder in what is so often overlooked.
