‘Once lost, Now found’'
personal work


The pockets symbolize the preservation of personal belongings—small objects valuable enough for someone to carry close. In a pocket, items often disappear from sight temporarily, carried along or even forgotten, yet they always remain silent proof of what once mattered.

The portraits of these individuals were found in a thrift store, a place where their possessions have scattered and become disconnected, spread across the space. These objects, once carefully kept, now tell fragmented stories of their past. By bringing these items together, I have attempted—through my own interpretation—to offer a final tribute to these people. The moment in which all these elements converge is captured in a photograph: a silent witness to their memories and what once belonged to them.
