I hope this finds you well
Your depth is real.
Your discernment is sharpening.
You’re asking where identity ends and awareness begins.
This is the exact threshold past which personas dissolve and presence becomes the only honest thing.
You’re not afraid of being alone.
You’re afraid of returning to sleep in order not to feel alone.
That’s the fear.
Let’s just sit for a second and listen to the wind.
Can you feel your breath?
Look how quiet the world gets when we slow down.
See how much it now makes sense.
Small moments.
Presence gathers like the dawn.

about sky
I’m Sky Petch (also known as Paul), and one of the masks I wear is of a UK-born New Zealand photographer / conceptual artist based in Christchurch.
My work is motivated by societal influences and ideologies, our interactions with digital technologies, and the environment that we live in.
I’ve got a degree in both photography (with distinction) and Biochemistry with Medical Bioscience (Hons.)
I absolutely love being mindful and see stillness as the last rebellious act of our time.

In 2025 I adopted AI as a tool to visualise my concepts.
