This photo series tells the story of a man who has lost faith in himself and life, and the angel who appears to help him rediscover light, love, and inner peace. From the first moment of wonder to complete transformation, it is a journey from darkness to light, where the angel becomes a symbol of hope and support, leaving traces of light and strength in his heart for a new beginning. This photo series explores the theme of angels among us, embodying the delicate line between reality and fiction. It presents a metaphorical story of an angel awakening in the modern world, filled with chaos and beauty. Each image captures the stages of her interaction with a person she has come to save, progressing from loneliness to quiet harmony. The series is executed in a minimalist black-and-white style, emphasizing the purity and emotional depth of each scene.
