Identity is not something we find—it is something we build.
This work is rooted in the belief that identity is shaped through repetition: the thoughts we return to, the words we accept, and the patterns we reinforce over time.
Each portrait reflects that process. Layers of text and image come together as a record of internal dialogue—both conscious and unconscious. What is repeated becomes embedded. What is embedded becomes identity.
These pieces are not about resolution. They are about construction—ongoing, intentional, and evolving.
