Lingering Shadows is an attempt to capture the simple yet complex and often hidden moments that women experience in their everyday lives. It explores the silent beauty found in the overlooked rituals of daily routines. Through subtle gestures-pouring tea, preparing food, pausing in stillness-this series honors the emotional depth that lies beneath the surface of repetition. The goal of the series is to invite viewers to reconsider the often unnoticed aspects of women's lives -revealing the emptiness, futility, and emotional complexity within these seemingly ordinary experiences.
