You Are Me, I Am You

A portrait project in which I gathered images of those who helped me move through a deep and very difficult process of rebirth.
I was completing an important stage of my life, and the people around me offered immense support and shared their wisdom. A year later, a simple thought came to me: everything around us is our reflection.

A woman at the checkout smiles at me — it reflects my inner state; a car does not let me pass on the road — I am holding myself back; a meeting is cancelled — it is my own decision.

Step by step, a state emerges that is no longer about "why," but about "for what purpose." Responsibility arises for every conversation that happens, for every meeting, for the people we encounter. As I am, so is my environment.

The method of the project is meeting, attentiveness, and the question "for what purpose?". Through personal conversations, observation, and visual interpretation, I sought not a biography, but a point of connection: why this person became important, which part of me they awakened, what they taught me.

Each work is the result of dialogue, empathy, and grateful perception.

This project is my revelation to you: Through paying attention to others, I found myself.
