    Scarred Silhouettes

    My project, Scarred Silhouettes, is a photographic exploration, a visual collection that captures the quiet poetry of scars and subtle marks left by time. I examine scars not merely as the traces of wounds but as enduring testimonies of vulnerability, healing, and strength. Each photograph magnifies delicate imperfections—cracks, fissures, indistinct ruptures—transforming them into evocative symbols of resilience and renewal.

    The photo series offers viewers an opportunity to reflect on their own hidden narratives, fostering an empathetic connection between physical and emotional landscapes. By engaging closely with textures and materials that subtly shift and evolve, I aim to suggest the silent passage of time—its gentle ability to both soften pain and preserve memory.
