This project brings together three connected bodies of work—Domestic Thresholds, Becoming, and Quiet in Public. Each explores a different environment where longing reveals itself as a form of love: the spaces we inhabit, the people we hold close, and the quiet encounters in the world around us.

What began as a personal record of daily life became a practice of self-understanding. Through light, texture, and the rhythm of ordinary moments, I learned to see the invitations inside each frame: to slow down, to listen, to reclaim presence.

Working with film mirrors this process. Its unpredictability teaches surrender, patience, and trust in what appears. Across these three sets, the images move from the intimate to the shared—offering small windows into tenderness, transition, and the human desire to belong.
