Here, light doesn’t guide—it governs. It carves expectations into skin, turns flesh into artifact. The bodies in these frames exist in precarious brilliance: straining toward perfection under conditions designed to ensure their failure, hardening under pressure that should have shattered them. Perfection isn't an aspiration but a siege, every gleaming surface another site of containment.In the overexposed edges, in the stubborn grain of shadow they couldn't bleach out—that's where the spirit survives. These images document the quiet revolt of opacity—the grace of leaving some things unlit, some truths just beyond focus. Not as revelation, but as residue. Not as clarity, but as an afterimage burned into the retina of the gaze itself.
This work is not an offering—it is a reckoning. No more sanctuary in shadows, no more refuge in darkness. Let the light scorch. Let it expose. If they demand visibility, they will get it: not my body as their specimen, but their gaze as my subject. Every frame is a flashbulb held too close, a glare that lingers. I am done being the only one laid bare. Now, the light serves my hand—not to illuminate, but to incinerate. Let them stare until their eyes water. Until they, too, know what it means to be blinded.
