Presence

Presence explores the jaguar of the Pantanal not as spectacle, but as existence. Rather than emphasizing action or narrative, the series focuses on moments of stillness, where the animal inhabits its territory with quiet authority and awareness.

Rendered in black and white and selective color, the images balance shadow, form, and gaze to reveal presence as a state of being rather than display. Strength emerges through pause, restraint, and attentiveness, suggesting a relationship between animal, land, and silence rooted in coexistence rather than domination.
