We cry when something reaches deep inside us. Tears are not weakness, but a way to heal. Like a shell that creates a pearl, enveloping what hurts, we transform experience into something valuable.
The pearly tears in this series are a symbol of change. They are no longer about pain, but about the path that has been traveled. About how we become stronger - not through rigidity, but through depth.
The frames are shot on expired black and white film - so that they retain a fragility, a grain of time, and this quiet, bright vulnerability that we carry within ourselves.
