This photo taken on Tokyo, Japan belongs to the Behind the Veil collection, born from two and a half months in Japan during the summer of 2018. What began with the idea of Noren—traditional fabric dividers that at first felt like barriers—grew into a deeper exploration of veils and thresholds. Again and again I found curtains, blinds, frosted glass, half-open windows: partitions of privacy, of mystery. The veil became a metaphor for distance, for presence and absence, for the space between seeing and knowing. Each image captures a figure just beyond reach—partially hidden, shielded, or turned away—leaving only silhouettes, gestures, traces. These could be anyone, and the viewer is invited to step in, to bring their own emotions, their own stories, their own projections.
