As an artist navigating the collision of digital identity and raw human presence, I reflect on what it truly means to be seen. In a world saturated with curated images—especially those that reduce women to aesthetic objects—I ask: can photography still serve as a mirror to the soul? This piece explores the tension between visual spectacle and emotional authenticity, inspired by recent imagery that sparked both fascination and unease. Through personal insight and artistic philosophy, I invite you to reconsider how we look—and how we allow ourselves to be looked at.
