The inspiration came from the idea of perception rather than representation. I was drawn to the fragile boundary between what is seen clearly and what is only sensed. The image explores memory, identity, and presence through softness, blur, and layered light, allowing emotion to surface where detail disappears. This led me towards a more introspective and experimental creative direction, where imperfection, ambiguity, and atmosphere take priority over clarity. Instead of documenting reality, the focus became translating an internal state, inviting the viewer to slow down, interpret freely, and connect through feeling rather than certainty.
