Description

Limited to 40 editions · Signed · Certificate of Authenticity · Archival Print

From shadow to illumination.

In Daylight Ascending, the quiet grace of neoclassical Paris unfolds through a stairwell’s arch — a seamless passage from the city’s subterranean hush to the elegance above. Captured in the morning’s gentle light, this image bridges the tactile textures of the Paris Metro with the refined geometry of its surroundings. The sweeping staircase guides the eye toward sunlight and façade — a composition that celebrates elevation, hope, and harmony. It is a meditation on ascent — the poetic dialogue between the everyday and the eternal, between what lies beneath and what rises into light.

Crafted to Endure

Each edition is printed on archival-grade Kodak Glossy 10 mil stock using museum-quality pigment inks, preserving the nuanced interplay of light and texture. The glossy finish amplifies the contrast between shadowed stone and radiant daylight, revealing every architectural contour in pristine detail. Every piece is signed, numbered, and accompanied by a Certificate of Authenticity, ensuring provenance and collector exclusivity.

The Collector’s Promise

Only 40 prints will ever exist worldwide. Once the final edition is collected, Daylight Ascending will be permanently retired. Each collector preserves not just an image, but a transition — from shadow into light, from motion into stillness of the Paris Metro.

Artist’s Note

In the soft light of morning, I found poetry as I emerged from a Paris Metro stairwell — a moment where the underground yielded to grace. Daylight Ascending is a quiet reflection on renewal, on how light transforms even the most ordinary thresholds.
