I created this print while experimenting with ways to tone and stain paper for platinum printing, searching for a more nostalgic, time-worn character. Using black tea and coffee, I introduced subtle shifts in color and depth that give the image a distinct, almost aged presence.

The result surprised me. I lived with the print in my studio for some time and grew to appreciate its quiet, atmospheric quality.

This was a one-off exploration — not part of any series and not something I intend to repeat — which makes this piece particularly rare.

Print size: 30 × 40 cm.
