“Imagine a tenderness,” I tweeted one November night. The phrase had come to me, and I shared it as a prompting—that someone who saw it might be heedful enough to imagine a tenderness, if for some seconds. The photographs I've selected could as well be pictorial presentations of three separate imaginations that carried out the exercise.

It was in November 2021, on the last day of taking photos for my debut project, .slow.. The two-part series attempted to depict slowness in two different senses and settings. In the Makola area, where the second part of the series was photographed, I attempted a depiction of slowness in relation to tempo and temperament.
