Chapter 1 - The imagined past lives of a troubled man.

"Past Lives" is a project that delves into the imagined rebirth of a troubled man, portraying him across three different time periods, each marked by turmoil. In every era, he appears trapped by the weight of his past, unable to break free. The audience is invited to embrace the art of storytelling, allowing their imagination to fill in the gaps and explore what has just unfolded in his life. Each image stands alone as its own narrative, yet when viewed together, they form a deeper, interconnected story. There are no right or wrong interpretations—only endless possibilities for new stories to be told.

This project stems from a concern that we are losing our appreciation for long-form stories and the power of imagination, as if our creative minds are gathering dust. My aim is to inspire others to reconnect with their own creativity, finding comfort in their inner worlds, and to revive the tradition of sharing stories in person—stories of hope, transformation, and renewal.
