Her Name Is Courage
A quiet yet powerful portrait of a young woman whose single tear reflects the unseen stories carried through generations. Shot in natural light, the image explores vulnerability, resilience, and the emotional weight held behind a steady gaze. The minimal composition and monochrome tones highlight the raw humanity and intimate truth in her expression.
