This project explores the idea that personal space can function as a portrait. I photograph student living spaces—dorm rooms, shared apartments, and temporary homes—to understand how identity is expressed through objects and arrangement. The room becomes a record of daily habits: what is valued, what is hidden, what is left unfinished. These environments are often messy, transitional, and improvised, but they reveal the quiet emotional texture of being a student—uncertainty, comfort, individuality, and the desire to belong.

I avoid staging or rearranging the space. Instead, I use natural light and observe the room as it is, allowing the viewer to look slowly and notice the intimate details that suggest personality and presence. Even without the person in the frame, the room holds their trace.

The project is less about documenting interiors and more about recognizing the room as an extension of the self—an indirect portrait shaped by everyday life.
