What began as an experiment with black-and-white striped clothing evolved into a series of portraits that raise questions about seeing and being seen.
Twelve women, all in their thirties strangers, yet familiar.
They wear the same pattern, yet each portrait tells a different story.

Through the repetition of stripes, a sense of connection and harmony emerges, while their gazes and subtle differences reveal individuality.

The choice for black and white stems from my fascination with contrast, the power of simplicity, and the tension between light and dark.
The striped T-shirts are painted flat, without shadow, and yet depth appears. They create a rhythm.

I placed myself at the center, as part of the whole.
Sometimes I feel one with them; at other times, merely an observer.
Depending on my mood, I experience something different each time: strength, silence, curiosity, or distance.
The women look back at me, but what I see in their gaze changes from day to day.

This series is about attention and stillness  about being together and being alone.
About how we differ and connect, how we assign meaning to what we see.
The work invites you to observe, to project, to ask questions.
About seeing, being seen, and the elusive space in between.
