"Treasures of Darkness" is an honest look at what it feels like to survive when depression has taken control.

This collection visually documents the feeling of being trapped beneath the heavy weight of life's burdens, intensified by daily exhaustion and profound personal heartaches. Black and white photography is utilized not as a choice, but as an internal mirror—stripping color and reflecting the joy eaten away by darkness. The documentation of this sheer struggle became a turning point, transforming the fight to endure into a fight to create. This project marks the profound, quiet decision to confront the darkness head-on and build the necessary inner core of strength.
