House of Creation is an ongoing documentary cycle that I began in November 2025. It grows from within the life of our new home — a place that is at once shelter, workshop, meeting ground, and emotional landscape.
This is not simply a house in which we live. It is a house that gathers lives. A house where children grow, guests arrive, conversations linger, work leaves its traces, and creativity is woven into the ordinary structure of the day. In this sense, the project is less about describing a physical interior than about listening to the inner life of a place: the way a home slowly becomes a world.
Photographed with a 4×5 inch large-format camera on black-and-white film, the work embraces slowness as both method and ethic. The camera does not seize; it waits. It allows each portrait to emerge through attention, stillness, and presence. What appears in the image is not only a face or a figure, but a relationship — between person and room, gesture and memory, light and duration.
The project records family members, guests, and the shifting constellation of people who enter this house, while also tracing the everyday life that binds them together. These images move between portrait and observation, between intimacy and document. They speak of care, play, labour, silence, tenderness, fatigue, and coexistence. They ask how a home holds time, and how time settles into bodies, objects, and shared rituals.
I see this work as a sociological diary of closeness — a documentary meditation on the home as a living organism. Through these portraits, the house reveals itself not as background, but as witness, participant, and archive. It becomes a vessel of memory, a theatre of ordinary life, and a place where creation is not separate from living, but born directly from it.
