TITLE: I don’t have every answer

A reflection on the mystery of human connection—how we long to be seen, even as we hide.

This work explores the tender boundaries of intimacy: the way we seek closeness while guarding parts of ourselves, drawn together by longing, yet separated by the unknown.



The veil becomes more than fabric—it is the quiet architecture of protection and distance. A symbol of the limits we place between us: physical, emotional, unseen.



Through this image, I wanted to explore that quiet place between distance and devotion—the space where we choose to stay, even when nothing is clear.

Not for answers, but for the hope of being felt.



I touched your hand,

but not your certainty.

We stood close—

but not inside the same knowing.

Still, I stayed.

Still, you reached.

And somehow,

that was enough.
