"INTIMATE PATHS"

Returning to my hometown, I had to face the various aspects of the past. Back in the countryside, I began spending time at my “secret” places—the ones that, deep in my recollection, were full of scents, sounds, and emotions. Gradually, a cathartic re-exploration of my familiar surroundings began, alongside currently beloved creatures. This time, however, I was drawn to moments when everything felt serene and somehow eerie. Seduced by total darkness, I experimented with the forms that light can reveal, creating a world between reality and fiction, dreams and nightmares, past and present. Through distortion, clarity emerges, and through abandonment, I attempt to share the feeling of being there—seeing and experiencing my most intimate paths.
