When the City Dances~
Late summer in Düsseldorf carries with it a certain stillness, as if time itself is slowing down before the inevitable shift of seasons. This evening, around 9 p.m., our small photography group wandered along the riverside, and the light had that golden, lingering quality only late summer can offer. We didn’t expect music, but there…

The Red Umbrella Dance~
We had no plan that evening, just the sea, the sand, and the last light of day brushing everything with warmth. My daughter picked up the red umbrella we had carried for shade earlier, and without a word, she stepped into the water and began to dance with the wind. It was one of those…

Pedaling Joy~
I walk the streets every day with a quiet longing—for joy, for a glimpse of something real. There is so much noise in the world now: conflict in the headlines, division on our screens, and a steady stream of content that rarely touches the heart. In all of that, I find myself searching for moments…

Rings of Stone, Sky of Memory~
In the summers of my childhood in Lebanon, we would sleep on the rooftop under the open sky. It was a gift of the season, when the weather turned warm and steady, and rain was no longer expected. I remember the thrill of carrying our bedding up the stairs, the way the night air felt…
