THE MESSENGER
Presented are psychological portraits staged as objects of passage—what we carry forward when expression is delayed or denied. Battered suitcases function as emblems of movement, inheritance, and survival. Faces, words, and fragments of thought accumulate like residue, forming unspoken narratives shaped by social pressure, time, and expectation. The work continues my long investigation into identity formation through what is withheld and what is expressed. There is no linear story, only repetition and accumulation—the quiet burden of internal turmoil.
