An endless expanse of white stretches in every direction. In this place, even the takeoff and landing of an aircraft can dissolve into uncertainty, as the boundary between sky and ground disappears, merging everything into a single field of white.

Yet what truly overwhelmed me was the view of Antarctica from above. The scale and mass I thought I had grasped on the ground revealed themselves to be only a fragment of this vast continent. Beneath me lay a landscape shaped by millions of years, yet still shifting, breathing, and alive.

Wind carves into ice and land, while light continuously transforms the scene. Unnamed mountain ranges emerge as suspended gestures between formation and collapse. Just as I approached the continent's highest peaks, a surge of frozen wind summoned clouds, and the mountains disappeared once again into white.

Photographed over several years across Asia, Africa, Europe and Latin America, Fleeting Bonds explores the quiet relationships that emerge between children and cats.

Made across different cultures and landscapes, the series reflects on connections that exist beyond words, borders and species.
