A burst of color, chaos, and elegance — frozen in time.

This image is one of the very first photographs I ever took when I started photography over ten years ago. No tripod, no timer, no preparation — just a camera placed flat on the lobby floor of the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas, pointed toward the iconic glass ceiling.

What struck me that day was how alive color can feel. The glass flowers bloom overhead like a dream suspended in motion — vibrant, bold, unrestrained. It wasn’t just décor; it was emotion in color.

Looking back now, this photo reminds me where it all started — with curiosity, improvisation… and the willingness to lie on a hotel floor for the shot.
