“Burden” is a conceptual photography series that explores the pressure that comes with existence.

After setting the cutout in place, I illuminated it with a beam of a flashlight and captured the scene. The contrast between light and shadow, along with an overexposed effect, creates an overwhelming visual tension: on the one hand, a brightness that nearly overwhelms everything; on the other, an intense, underwhelming force emanating from the darkness.
