FOUR LEAVES

Four Leaves is a deeply personal visual narrative that explores my ongoing journey toward happiness, balance, and inner peace. Through the lens of photography, I examine the quiet, often unnoticed moments that shape the emotional fabric of daily life. The project is a layered combination of self-portraits, images of others, and still life compositions, each element chosen deliberately to reflect the complexity and nuance of human experience.

Rather than presenting happiness as a fixed destination, Four Leaves acknowledges it as a fluid, ever-changing state, something we move toward, drift away from, and sometimes rediscover in the most unexpected places. The series embraces both vulnerability and strength, recognizing sadness and uncertainty as natural parts of the emotional spectrum rather than something to hide from.

The title refers to the four-leaf clover. Often seen as a symbol of good fortune and hope.

Four Leaves invites viewers to pause and reflect on their own emotional journeys. It asks us to consider: What does happiness mean? How do we find balance in a chaotic world? And what if the answers aren’t loud or spectacular, but found instead in stillness, connection, and the ordinary moments we too often pass by?
