Coherence is not an isolated act — it emerges in relationship, in the delicate dialogue between the seen and the unseen.

Arranged Image is a collection of prints and books that meditates on the photographic tension between emergence and intervention — between the quiet order of nature and the deliberate order of human hands. Captured primarily during my travels, each image reflects how objects, such as plantains or stones, appear in naturally emergent arrangements — shaped by wind, time, gravity, and invisible harmonics.

These patterns arise not from intention, but from a relational field: chance interactions, subtle forces, environmental contexts. They form a kind of wild coherence — one not imposed, but discovered.

But when the human hand enters — to stack, align, group, or arrange — the pattern shifts. A new kind of resonance appears. Order becomes deliberate. Spontaneity gives way to structure. What was once a living expression of environmental relationships becomes a curated artifact.

This body of work invites reflection on that shift. Where does observation end and control begin? When does coherence become constraint? The act of arranging — whether in photography, design, or daily life — is not neutral. It flattens some stories while emphasizing others.

Yet arrangement can also be an offering — a gesture of attention, of reverence, of resonance. Like a designer attuned to space, or two people breathing in rhythm, it can create new fields of meaning.

In this collection, each image holds a quiet inquiry: What is the nature of coherence when it emerges not alone, but in relationship?
