This photo series explores the metaphor of "wearing masks" and the struggle to adapt to various social roles.
The title, "My Cup of Tea," is an ironic play on the common phrase "It's not my cup of tea," which is typically used to describe something that doesn’t suit one’s taste or preferences. In contrast, the series title suggests an attempt to define what *is* one’s cup of tea. For someone who is more reserved or introverted, fitting into social roles can feel like a constant effort to find comfort in things that don’t quite fit.
