With "Kuss", my intention was to capture a moment of quiet intimacy not between two people, but within oneself. The image presents a single person, framed frontally, embodying stillness and presence.

By using a deliberately reduced color palette, I aimed to remove distractions and highlight the subtle emotional nuances of this moment. The gentle tones invite the viewer to slow down and engage with the profound act of self love.

This work is about the courage to face oneself honestly, to embrace vulnerability and strength alike, and most importantly, to love oneself fully. It is an invitation to pause, reflect, and begin a compassionate dialogue with your own being.

Through Kuss, I hope to inspire people to recognize their own worth and find beauty in the complex, unique experience of self-acceptance.
