The Silent Agony: A Portrait of Resistance and Loss
In a world overrun by noise—of war, of politics, of relentless chatter on digital screens—sometimes, a photograph tells the story louder than a thousand voices.

The Girl Who Lived in My Mirror
When I was eight, my parents bought a century-old Victorian house. Creaky floors, drafty hallways, and mirrors—lots of mirrors. The house had them in every room. They were antique, beautifully carved, and—according to my mom—“full of character.”
