Exploring identity through emotional responses to relationships and environments. Composed portraits of psychological contradictions and the uncertainty of self, using natural light to create both tension and comfort. The mask serves as a visual metaphor—obscuring the face while revealing inner emotion—raising questions about authenticity. By shifting away from individual subjectivity, he invites viewers to connect through shared emotional experiences and consider the complexity of their own evolving identities.
