Emotions in Abstraction

Photography is often seen as a way to freeze a single moment in time. Yet life is not one moment. It is a flow of memories, emotions, and unseen stories. Through long exposure photography, I seek to capture this deeper sense of time and feeling within a single frame.

The series Emotions in Abstraction began from a personal need: to express emotions I had long kept hidden.
Growing up in an environment where emotional expression was neither welcomed nor understood, I learned to keep my feelings to myself. For much of my life, I moved through the world unable to name or express what I felt. Photography became my first language, a way to give voice to these unspoken emotions.

Through abstraction, I found a space to explore feelings that once felt too overwhelming or unfamiliar: fear, isolation, longing, resilience. As I shared this work, I discovered how many others resonated with these emotions, revealing how deeply connected we are through shared feeling.

For me, abstraction is not merely a visual style. It is a language for what words cannot convey. Through long exposures and subtle editing, I aim to create images that invite quiet reflection, both for myself and for those who encounter them.

Through this work, I hope to open a space for reflection and healing. A space where photography can serve as a bridge, not only between ourselves and others, but also to the parts of ourselves we may have long kept hidden.
