Around the World in 2026 - March challenge

I’m currently working through two photography challenges for 2026. The first one is Black and White 52, one monochrome image per week. 

The second project is called 'Around the World in 2026.' It’s a global collaboration where photographers share everyday life rather than typical postcard views. Each month has a theme; March was 'Religion.' As a non-religious person who views faith as a strictly private matter, I found this prompt challenging to navigate. I chose to focus on the more universal, atmospheric elements of the theme: light in spiritual spaces and quiet moments.
