"The project "Solstice" describes a stream of images from the subconscious, which can also be interpreted as surreal dream images with faded memories and sublimated desires. It delves into the hidden depths of the human psyche, aiming to blur the boundary between reality and fantasy. Furthermore, it explores the intimate and profound discoveries and reflections of the self, serving as a quest for self-awareness. It involves the delicate yet painful discoveries of the human psyche. A space is to be constructed that identifies the existence between an idealized dream and the realism of everyday life. This project is a continuation of my thesis "I feel what you don't see," which describes a photographic collection of images and texts on the topic of high sensitivity. In this work, I explored the extent to which the medium of photography is capable of visualizing subtle perceptions, emotions, and feelings."
