Through My Eyes is an exploration of memory, identity, and resilience. I confront the complexities of my past, weaving together archival childhood photographs and new images that reveal the resilience of my current identity.

Smiles captured in old photos may suggest happiness, yet they mask the pain and struggles I endured—hidden stories of harm, rejection, and survival. New photographs reflect growth and transformation, creating a space for reflection, understanding, and ultimately, healing.

This project particularly examines the emotional and
physical scars left by my upbringing, including the silent
battles of concealing my identity. Growing up, I navigated the fear of being seen and suppressing my truth while facing bullying and isolation. This body of work is not just about pain, it is about resilience, transformation, and the power of self-discovery.
