RISE IN MOTION

Rise in Motion is a black-and-white chronicle of youth, captured on high-contrast film that highlights the intensity and texture of fleeting moments. The series revolves around boys playing football, using the sport as a lens to explore the raw drive and spirit of adolescence.

While the focus often rests on the dynamic movements—the stretch of a leap, the force of a strike—glimpses of faces break through, revealing moments of focus, joy, or determination. The pronounced grain of the film adds a tactile, almost visceral quality, echoing the grit and passion of the players as they navigate the field.

This project is not just about football; it’s about the shaping of identity. Every tackle, every sprint, every stumble tells a story of effort and resilience. Rise in Motion captures the beauty of growth in its purest form—a celebration of youthful ambition, the forging of character, and the quiet power of becoming.
