Shhh Welcome to My Secret Life

“Art vs. Reality”

How many people find themselves caught between their passion and the harshness of reality?

In this self-portrait series, I portray a secretary who secretly dreams of becoming an artist or a photographer. But the path to that dream is filled with obstacles, and to survive, she has no choice but to keep working a job that drains her spirit.

Cigarettes, alcohol, and snacks become small comforts—a way to soothe her wounded heart and fill the void that unfulfilled dreams leave behind.

Through this work, I want to speak for those who are forced to hide their true selves to meet society's expectations.

I hope that one day, everyone will have the freedom to do what they love and become who they truly are.
