A story of being

This is a story of love, but not in the way you know. This is not a story, of girl meets boy but rather girl meets self and falls in love with the world. This is not a story with a magical ending where everything falls into place, but rather a story of how to fall in love with the process of becoming rather than what there is, to be. This is a story of what it is to simply be without fighting the weather without resistance without suffering, A story of a flower, from seed to blossom, learning how to love every petal with no judgement only curiosity. This is not a story, but an invitation to join a journey of redefining what it is to love.

A Story of Being is a thoughtfully handcrafted and hand bound  photobook combining photography and poetry to explore the profound journey of growth. Through the interplay of words and images, it delves into complex personal experiences and weighty emotions while preserving a core sense of innocence.
