A Shadow Runs Through It

Photography, Larena Nellies-Ortiz



I’ve always been fascinated by the ability of light to transform a space, a subject, or an entire environment from one moment to the next. This photo series explores what it means to be illuminated or obscured by light and the playful dance between what Rumi describes as, “[staying] next to the Light” and “[disappearing into the Light.”
