The girl sinks into a sea of capsules, her eyes closed, her expression almost blissful — as if she has found relief. And yet, she also appears to be suffocating on the very pills surrounding her.

I am an artistic photographer born in the 1990s, whose journey began with portrait painting and gradually transitioned to photography during my university studies. Photography has allowed me to explore not only aesthetics but also deeper questions about human behavior and decision-making. My work focuses on portrait, conceptual, fine art, and abstract photography, aiming to provoke reflection on moral issues, the reasons behind bad decisions, and the consequences of human actions.
