la ballerina

This photograph was taken during a pause between shots of a project born in a period of profound darkness, when words were no longer enough to express what I felt. Through black and white photography, using long exposures that blur edges and dissolve boundaries, I gave form to the pain that lived within me. Inspired by Kafka's words—"We photograph things to drive them from our minds"—I sought to transform silence into movement, pain into images, fragility into art. But this shot represents the delicacy and lightness that cannot always be captured.
