This project explores intimacy as a process of reshaping. Through staged photographs, everyday objects are reassembled with the body, revealing how relationships shape perception, habit, and identity over time.

Intimacy is often a prolonged, silent process of reshaping.
Through my lens, I seek to capture the invasion of will that lies within the maintenance of a relationship.
As compromise settles into the body, it becomes habit, and the contours of the self grow increasingly translucent.

I detach everyday objects from their original contexts and reassemble them with the body, holding them in moments of quiet tension.
This displacement of symbols echoes a discipline embedded in daily life, extending from the rhythm of time to the arrangement of things, and further into the interior of the self.

An ambiguity of origin gradually emerges within these visual gaps.
After prolonged mutual regulation, how much of my thought remains an untouched wilderness?

Are you thinking for me, or have I become a phantom of myself, living out a reality shaped by your expectations?
