Ivory Radiance

Ivory Radiance captures the serene elegance of a chandelier in the stairwell of the University of Essex library. Suspended in stillness, its glowing orbs of light float like moons in the quiet night, providing a calm and reflective ambiance amidst the surrounding wooden structure. The warmth of the wood contrasts beautifully with the soft, cool glow emanating from the lights, offering both comfort and inspiration in a space dedicated to thought and learning.

This shot was born out of a need for a pause, a moment away from the relentless cycle of studying. As I stepped back, I was mesmerized by the simplicity of the chandelier’s design. The stillness of the scene matched the quiet atmosphere of the library, making it the perfect reflection of the mental escape I was wanting. This shot reminded me that night that sometimes, stepping away from the books for a moment of quiet can bring the greatest clarity of all.
