TITLE: Winter fell on my heart

Winter appears here not as a season, but as a state of being. The absence of color reveals memory, while the forest becomes a space of silence and tension. In the cold stillness, everything essential withdraws beneath the surface — including feeling itself. Love emerges not as a gesture or declaration, but as a quiet, fragile warmth, existing at the edge of visibility. The black-and-white images form a narrative about distance, longing, and the intimacy that arises when the world slows down and falls silent.
