BEYOND THE MIST

In today's society, we navigate through a cloud of dense information, a constant barrage that often accumulates without our conscious awareness. This overwhelming influx of data subtly molds our understanding of self and our interactions with others, compelling us to adopt predefined roles that align with societal expectations.

As we assimilate this information, we transform our raw, primitive nature, crafting a version of ourselves that conforms to what is deemed socially acceptable. This metamorphosis requires us to suppress our innate desires, emotions, and the hidden nuances of our psyche. The true essence of our identity becomes obscured, replaced by a façade—our metaphorical masks. These masks allow us to play our assigned roles, easing our adaptation to the environment but creating a divide between who we genuinely are and who we present to the world.

This phenomenon invites us to examine the relationships we form under such circumstances. They often exist in a state of ambiguity, akin to fog—an obscured view that limits our ability to connect deeply with others. Within this haze, the orders and expectations imposed by a "civilized" society loom large, leaving us unable to penetrate the surface of our interactions. We find ourselves entangled in fuzzy relationships, where authenticity is sacrificed for the sake of conformity.

In this context, the story poetically portrayed in this photography series, reflect this struggle, the mist represent the complexity of human existence and interpersonal relationships amidst the pressures of societal norms. The masked characters serve not only as a metaphor for hidden emotions but also as a reminder of the multifaceted nature of our identities, a journey of introspection and emergence, reexamining our desires and emotions to challenge the narrative shaped by the external world and seek clarity beyond the fog.
