PHÁLAINA

(Phálaina: Ancient Greek for 'moth')

A visual exploration of transformation, fragility, and the eternal search for light, Phálaina delves into the narrative of the woman as a moth. Each frame captures her journey — from the constraints of her cocoon to the liberation of her mature form, only to find herself shunned, misunderstood, perpetually drawn to external sources of light she can never quite grasp.

Phálaina is not merely an aesthetic statement — it is a metaphor for the cyclic struggle of transformation, the discomfort of visibility, and the desire for external validation, often at the cost of inner peace.
