REVEALING TRUTH - CONCEPTUAL PORTRAITS

This photographic series explores how partial, filtered, or distorted perception shapes our understanding of reality. Using elements like mirrors, water droplets, glass, and refractions, the images challenge the idea that we ever see “the whole picture.” Instead, they suggest that truth is always incomplete, depending on viewpoint, framing, and context.

​

A mannequin’s face appears through water-filled glasses, broken into abstract forms. A young woman’s reflection shimmers through droplets on a mirror. A crystal ball turns a familiar face upside down and inside out. In each case, the visual distortion is not just an effect — it is a metaphor: for how we perceive, judge, and make meaning from fragments.

​

These images do not claim to reveal the truth, but to question how truth is constructed. What we see often says more about us — our expectations, our culture, our gaze — than about the subject in front of the lens.

​

This project connects to my work as a travel and portrait photographer. In travel photography, we tend to capture what stands out, what differs from our own experience. We interpret other cultures through our personal lens — and in doing so, reveal both them and ourselves. Photography becomes not just a way to look outward, but a mirror turned inward.
