The Not a Portrait project addresses the theme of multilayered identity and examines the limits of visually perceiving a person. It asks whether we can truly “see” another human—or even ourselves—through the lens of a classic portrait. This work transcends the traditional genre, offering not an image but its layering, fragment, and trace.
Female identity is conveyed through abstract forms in which the body dissolves and its emotional and energetic echo emerges. Femininity is not a shape but a state—it appears in traces, in blurs, in the layering of sensations and symbols. The woman, as a visually elusive presence, becomes not a portrait or a body or a role, but an inner vibration. The project rejects literal depictions of the female form and invites the viewer to experience feminine presence through blurred floral shapes, overlays, reflections, and abstraction. Flowers are not decoration but vessels of feminine energy. This is not a portrait of a woman, but a portrait of the feeling she leaves behind.
