Kai Jye Ngui, Golden Momentum (PEOPLE 2025)

This four image series captures people in motion, running along water’s edge and kayaking, swimming, as dawn unfolds in warm, golden light. Shot consistently under the same ethereal glow, the images flow from early morning stillness to spirited movement. Together, the series tells a story of human connection to nature’s rhythm, how, in the gentle breeze of morning during winter time, people still can find clarity, momentum, and joy.
