Everything passes.
Some things happen so quickly that we barely notice them. Others stay with us for years, even when the places, people, and circumstances around them have changed.
I’ve always liked the idea of having somewhere to return to — somewhere that holds pieces of different moments in time.
Not necessarily the extraordinary ones. Sometimes it’s just an ordinary afternoon, a place visited, a photograph taken, a thought that came and went, or something that I don’t want to forget.
That’s what this place is for.
YOHMERA is a collection of things I want to keep. A space for photographs, stories, experiences, ideas, and things I create along the way.
The name draws inspiration from three ideas: the fleeting nature of everything, the value of individual moments, and the spaces that allow those moments to exist alongside one another.
I don’t know exactly what this archive will become. Maybe that’s part of the point.
There is no schedule to follow, no particular audience to impress, and no expectation that everything needs to be meaningful to everyone.
Some things will be written. Some will only be photographs. Some might never be finished.
I just want to have a place for them.
Something to look back on, perhaps years from now, and remember that these moments happened.
Everything passes. Nothing is without its place.
Some entries will be long. Some will be a photograph and a sentence. Some won’t end with a lesson, and they don’t need to.
Everything passes. This is where some of it stays.
Welcome to YOHMERA.
