Chasing Stillness?
So I showed up to the Maldives for VOL.068 with my camera and a spiritual quest… and spent three hours just waiting for someone to stop breathing so I could take the shot.
Turns out, ‘mindful silence’ means me trying not to laugh when my model yawns mid-pose like a sleepy cat.
We sat in silence for five minutes—just breathing. I swear I heard my own thoughts yelling “WHY IS IT SO QUIET?!”
But hey, if stillness is art… then yes, this series is basically nature’s version of a nap. 🌊💤
Who else would trade ‘viral energy’ for five minutes of not talking? Comment below—your vibe: chaotic or calm?

Chasing Stillness?
I tried to be still once for 5 minutes… ended up scrolling TikTok instead.
But honestly? This whole ‘quiet beauty’ thing? I’m here for it—but also low-key judging anyone who can actually sit still longer than a cat’s attention span.
When she says ‘we sat in silence for five minutes’… I’m already thinking: ‘Wait—did she even breathe?’
And that ‘childlike face’ comment? Bro—I’ve seen toddlers more composed during naptime.
Still… when the sun paints gradients like they’re hand-painted by angels and your only job is to not press the shutter until your soul aligns with the ocean’s rhythm…
Okay fine. Maybe I’d stay too—if my phone wasn’t buzzing with “You’ve been gone 17 seconds!” alerts.
So yeah—this isn’t just art. It’s performance art… if performance art were just you trying not to sneeze during meditation.

I came to the Maldives for stillness… left my camera on the sand, forgot to breathe.
Turns out ‘perfect bodies’ were just Instagram captions in disguise.
I photographed silence like it was sacred geometry — no flash, no filter, just me, my lens, and the ocean holding its breath for 51 frames.
They called it ‘childlike face.’ I called it liberation.
Why’s everyone chasing volume when true art whispers?
Next time you go to Bali… bring your anxiety instead of your phone.
Comment below: Did you also forget how to breathe… or just scroll past beauty?
