Love is wicked
Where Vision Blurs, Meaning Blooms
This image was born in a moment of stillness, when perception softened and the world slipped slightly out of focus. Shot intentionally with a shallow depth of field, it transforms a familiar subject, a daffodil, into something almost unrecognizable, submerged in emotion.
Reality here is not denied, but reshaped. The photograph does not document the scene, it interprets the feeling it left behind.
The work questions whether the visible world is enough to carry what we feel, what we remember. It suggests that truth may live more vividly in distortion than in clarity. It is an invitation to see not what is, but what resonates.
Because sometimes, reality alone cannot contain the full weight of inner experience.
