Collection One

Pressed Silence

“The Weight Between Words” explores the elusive space where identity strains against silence—where inner truths live, but language fails to catch them. Through veiled forms and restrained gestures, the series captures the difficulty of being seen when one cannot fully speak, and the quiet persistence of selfhood shaped by what remains unspoken.

These figures live in the aftermath of experience, not its peak. They do not plead to be witnessed; they quietly exist in their own time, in their own rhythm, protecting what has not yet taken form. In a world that often demands articulation and visibility, this series honors the slow, unseen labor of becoming—when identity is still fragile, when voice is still gathering its strength.
