Reflections in Water

This series explores how water transforms the act of looking. Through reflections in puddles and wet surfaces, the human figure appears only indirectly—stretched, fragmented, and unstable. I am interested in how reflection can blur the boundary between body and environment, turning the city into a shifting psychological space. Water functions not only as a mirror, but also as a surface of distortion, where identity becomes fluid, temporary, and difficult to fix. These images are less about documenting people or place than about suggesting a moment of uncertainty, where presence is felt through instability.
