Define Gravity is not a statement, but an invitation - to reflect on gravity not only as a physical law, but as a sensation: something felt, reformulated, and momentarily shifted.
This photographic exhibition explores gravity as both a physical and internal force. Local dancers are portrayed in suspended moments where effort remains visible and release has not yet arrived.
The photographer dwells on pauses - fragile intervals where tension, vulnerability, and presence become perceptible.
Here, gravity functions not only as a physical force, but as a metaphor for discipline, expectation, and internal pressure carried by the dancer. Photography becomes a way to reveal what often
escapes attention: weight, silence, and the tension that exists within flight.

Is anyone interested in an old stamp collection? I have no idea how much it is worth, but can send some photos to anyone interested. Let me know if you want more information or where I could go to get an idea of its value. Thank you.
