Gelatin Silver Prints

During a month of living in Paris, I found myself returning daily to the streets with my camera, drawn to those who exist on the margins.

My gaze was not seeking immediate drama but rather small moments of vulnerability, warmth, or solitude, the kind that reveal themselves only when one pauses to truly look.

For me, the camera became a tool of closeness, an attempt to approach a different world, one that usually passes us by without being fully seen.
