I used photography as a way to process and express what I was feeling at the time, capturing moments of joy, loneliness, playfulness, and connection. What started as an experiment quickly became a visual journal, with each image reflecting a different emotional layer of my life.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;662b3860-e524-488c-ba56-781ab8de0461&#8243; header_4_font=&#8221;Alata|500|||||||&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;||0px||false|false&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<h4>Creative Motivation<\/h4>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.4&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;8ef9e92f-9e1b-4f52-8a41-c8cd7cc07f77&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"755\" data-end=\"1176\" class=\"\">I had never seriously worked in black and white before, so this project was also a technical challenge for me. Stripping away color helped me focus on tone, texture, and expression, allowing the mood of each photo to speak more clearly.

I didn\u2019t try to stage or perfect these moods, instead, I gave myself space to simply show up and document whatever came through.
