Rain Child

These self-portraits were taken during a time of struggle and isolation. The act of photographing myself became a quiet ritual, a way to reclaim presence when I felt most invisible.

The lens gave me a kind of superstitious hope, as if the camera might hold what I couldn’t share. This was a slow undoing, witnessing something fragile find meaning, learning to stay with it, frame by frame.
