FUNGI

Born in fragility amid urban chaos, Fungi began in 2018 as a photographic diary of decay, beauty, and survival. Through silence and stillness, it reveals resilience, growth in forgotten corners, where ruin meets rebirth and quiet life endures

In the heart of the urban jungle, amidst the concrete and chaos, lies a hidden world teeming with life and decay. 

Welcome to "Fungi" 

Fungi was born in a moment of fragility as a quiet breath in a time of noise.
It tried to survive in the harsh light of the city, finding shelter in forgotten corners, growing between walls and shadows, half-seen, half-hidden.

Created in 2018 as a form of self-therapy, Fungi began as a photographic diary, capturing the unknown, the intimate, the moments that exist between presence and disappearance. 

For a while, it lived. Then something broke.
It retreated into cracks, waiting.
But even in stillness, something kept growing, slowly, secretly, through years of chaos, loneliness, and disintegration.

Now, Fungi emerges again, not as what it once was, but as what survived.
A quiet organism of memory, feeding on time, blurring the line between ruin and rebirth.

“What Fungi taught me was to observe. To truly see everything within my immediate surroundings.
To face a reality you would normally try to avoid. Amidst decay and loneliness, a quiet beauty emerges. This series is a reminder of the resilience of existence, and the potential for growth even in the most challenging circumstances, much like fungi do.”
