"The real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes."
Marcel Proust
As an avid reader I am drawn to stories that ignite the imagination and leave space for readers’ involvement. I believe this approach can be transferred to the visual medium. My intention was to tell a story through photographs that are visually appealing, timeless, and relatable, touching on the themes of dreams, hopes, and the pursuit of something elusive, like happiness or the meaning of life. Similar to the protagonist in Paulo Coelho’s The Alchemist, Harold embarks on a journey of his life, and it is the journey itself that creates the meaning and sense of his endeavours.
