The "Pocket Prints" series began entirely by chance, born on a day I was reluctantly persuaded to play Pickleball. While wearing light-colored shorts and trying to document my friends as they argued over the game, I tucked my phone into my pocket, unaware it was still capturing images. Later, as I began to purge what I assumed were merely accidental, blank frames, the abstract beauty within them struck me; the accidental captures of the interior of my pocket resembled ethereal, evocative landscapes. This realization prompted the title "Pocket Prints," serving as a profound reminder that inspiration and artistic beauty can often emerge unexpectedly from the most mundane or unintended circumstances.
