Portraits

This series gathers portraits taken over several years, bound by a common fascination: the strangeness that emerges from a face, a gesture, or a suspended instant. I have always been inspired by cinematic images that disturb rather than comfort—frames that recall the unsettling universes of Gregory Crewdson or filmmakers who explore moments of quiet unease. A portrait, for me, is never neutral. It is a stage where something irrational or uncanny can suddenly appear. These images are not about likeness or beauty. They are fragments of fiction, atmospheres where the subject seems both present and absent, close and distant. The tension lies in that in-between: familiar, yet strange. Together, they form a constellation of encounters—each one a glimpse into the unsettling poetry that hides behind the surface of the human face.
