This project was based on letters I received from people about love. I read these letters carefully, extracted emotions that resonated with me, and translated them into images. The project is both a personal and collective search for the many ways love is experienced, remembered, and longed for. The photographs are my response, not as direct illustrations, but as visual reflections. It's about how the feelings of others can unexpectedly mirror your own, and how photography becomes a space to hold and honor those shared emotions. Photography is my way of processing and connecting. The images that emerged are quiet, intimate traces of reflection: soft, slow, and open to interpretation. In a world of speed and overload, I aim to create a space for pause, care, and recognition.
