Artist Statement
“ Do what you love as you are alone in your place. Loving yourself as no one can see or even judge.”
I asked permission to bring their hidden side , to show themselves from the inside out.
Some of these photoset I worked with Ann Watinee. I interviewed her and found out that she is an ordinary woman but charming and her story is quite interesting.
Her story makes me feel that people do many things that are not themself and expect to beloved. Unfortunately, sometimes they are lost.
It’s not selfish to love yourself first. If someone else comes into your life.
