2 months in Neverland

In the summer of 2024, freshly out of college, I spent my days on the sun-washed island of Ios. The images from that season were captured entirely on film, each frame a quiet attempt to hold onto a fleeting moment. Though the island seemed populated almost entirely by Australians and Irish wanderers, it became the perfect backdrop for a summer defined by connection, late nights, and electric music. It was one of those summers you don’t realize is golden until it’s already gone.
