The Retreat: Perception and Perspective
Sanjay Mukherjee•2025-12-24
A series of photographs capturing the crescent moon's journey across the twilight sky above the Arabian Sea. The retreat of daylight, the advance of night, and the constant presence of the moon—each frame an invitation to observe before we interpret, to see before we conclude.

Crescent moon suspended in the fading light, colors beginning their daily retreat

The horizon glow intensifies as the moon holds steady above

Twilight deepens, the crescent sharp against softening pastels

Waves catching the last light, the moon now a quiet witness

The final balance—sea, sky, moon, and the space between them
