Artist Statement:

Held by Silent Weight explores the psychological, emotional, and physical spaces shaped by the quiet tension between routine and transformation. Rooted in the rhythms of domestic life, the work dwells in moments where comfort and stillness meet a subtle undercurrent of restlessness. Each photograph functions as a psychological gesture—objects, figures, and landscapes emerge as metaphors for memory, longing, and pivotal emotional thresholds.

Wild, open spaces within the work serve as internal landscapes—simultaneously evoking the desire for freedom and the instinct to return to safety. These places become mirrors of a deeper search: a negotiation between the need for belonging and the weight of inertia.

Rather than a straightforward documentation of domesticity, Held by Silent Weight is an emotional cartography. It traces the fragile balance between intimacy and disquiet, mapping the layered experience of finding home—both as a place and a state of being.
