A self-portrait series, examining how a given situation can hold profound meaning for one person whilst evoking pain or disillusionment in another, shaped by their life experiences.



What inspires one person filling them with purpose and resilience, yet that same element could represent loss or stir feelings of grief in another individual.



This duality reminds us that meaning is a deeply personal emotion and it invites us to approach such differences with empathy, recognizing the shared humanity in both inspiration and struggle.
