This photographic series explores moments of exposure and restraint, where vulnerability flickers and agency is actively negotiated. The images exist in a space between innocence and self-awareness, where being seen is not imposed but enters naturally—sometimes invited, sometimes withheld.

Looking is never singular: gazes are exchanged, resisted, returned, or refused. Questions of privacy, permission, and self-definition move subtly within each frame. Rather than presenting fixed identities, the photographs trace states of becoming—figures and presences poised in transition, where awareness sharpens and meaning remains open.
