The "Transgression" project is an exploration of creating portraits of people. However, it turns out that none of these portraits physically resemble their subjects. In each piece, I strive to uncover the hidden passions, emotions, fears, joys, and hopes of those I photograph and paint.

I turn these concealed emotions inside out, possibly distorting their perfect external images, revealing them as open and perhaps vulnerable. I search for the colors, light, and even the darkness hidden deep within them.

This is how I see them, how I feel them—they are beauty.
