In these portraits, people become landscapes of light and shadow, quiet vessels of intimacy and longing. Shot mostly on analog film, the work lingers in moments of stillness — a gaze that resists performance, a gesture poised between strength and fragility. Often photographed nude and in natural light, those portrayed seem suspended between presence and memory, inviting a tender recognition of solitude. Together, the portraits form a meditation on melancholy and nostalgia: not as absence, but as traces of beauty that remain. In their vulnerability, they remind us that to be seen is also to belong.
