Not All Treasure Is Seen explores the quiet power of beauty in all its forms. Through portraits adorned with natural elements and hand-applied gold leaf, the series invites viewers to look beyond the surface. Flowers represent fragility and impermanence, while gold becomes a symbolic gesture — not of wealth, but of reverence. Each image honours the unseen: inner strength, quiet grace, and the subtle moments that define us. This project challenges conventional ideas of value, reminding us that true treasure often lives in what is easily overlooked.
