“FACES”
A Portrait Photography Exhibition
A face tells a silent story, marked by emotions, age, and experience, enriched by the influence of culture and shaped by personal, private thoughts.
"Faces" asks photographers to present works where the face is not simply seen, but felt, where it becomes a way to witness another person’s presence in the world. The aim isn’t to assign meaning to a face, but to consider how much can be carried in one expression, and how often we search for pieces of ourselves in others.
