This series examines the nuanced relationship between facial expressions and personal identity. Through portraiture, I explore how fleeting moments of emotion—captured in relaxed, candid poses—reveal the essence of individuality. Each subject’s posture, gaze, and demeanor offer a window into their personality, blending vulnerability and confidence. By photographing against a stark black background, I remove distractions, allowing the viewer to focus on the subtle details of expression. The series invites contemplation of how outward appearances communicate the internal, fostering connections between the subject, the viewer, and the shared human experience.
