Alpha Dreams is a photographic exploration of time, motion, and memory through long-exposure imagery. The series is built primarily from extended exposures of moving film, cinematic moments stretched into single frames, alongside a small number of long exposures drawn from everyday life such as trees in motion, subtle human activity, and fleeting ordinary moments. What begins as documentation transforms into abstraction.

Through the long-exposure process, individual frames of motion dissolve and recombine into layered fields of color, light, and texture. Narrative collapses into atmosphere. Motion becomes emotion. The result is a body of work that feels less like photography and more like painting, surreal, fluid, and dreamlike. These images are not records of events as they happened, but impressions of how they felt.

The title Alpha Dreams was inspired by my late mentor, artist, photographer, and dear friend, Geof Nesossi. When he first encountered the series, he described the images as existing in a dream state, familiar yet un-tethered from reality and suspended between memory and imagination. His words shaped not only the name of the project but also its foundation.

At its core, Alpha Dreams is about transformation. The transformation of movement into stillness. Of narrative into abstraction. Of reality into memory. Of perception into emotion.

Each image is both an ending and a beginning, an imprint of something that existed for only a fleeting moment, now reinterpreted as something lasting and intangible.

This series is dedicated to Geof, whose vision, creativity, and belief in artistic exploration continue to shape my work.
