Humankind has always been a paradoxical species, driven by the need to be someone else, or to hide behind a veil. Through layers of facade, we create an illusion of another.

This series of portraits delves into the haunting metamorphosis of the modern soul, a dance between concealment and projection. We contort ourselves, either to evade the sharp edges of judgment or to craft an artifice of belonging, all while denying the raw authenticity of our being.

As the world advances, the facade of invisible masks that we weave becomes more layered, a haunting sense of void that no mask can fill.
