Self Portraits
đ„§ Through photography, she is met beyond small talk and surfaces, in a quiet place where something real can breathe. Sabina unpeels gently. She does not expose, she reveals. Nature is her most faithful room. Trees her elders. Water her mirror. Lavender her medicine. Swans her teachers of grace. Deer her reminders of softness. Fire her ancient companion. Her self~portraits are encounters with the self beyond masks. đ„§
đ„§ In front of her camera, there are no rules. She can be whoever she is today. Photography lets her meet herself without masks. It is intimate, protective, safe ~ a sacred field created between light, time, subject and camera. Her work does not need explanation. Her photographs already speak in a thousand languages. đ„§âđ °ââœË.â©â§đ °áš àœŒ â đ °đ„§Ë
đ„§ Photography is the one place where effort dissolves into flow. Light and shadow are her greatest teachers. She watches how light falls on skin, on eyes, in hair, on trees, on flowers, through spiderweb & water. Photography is always available to her. Wherever she is, it waits like a loyal friend. She never plans her images. They arrive intuitively, spontaneously. She follows impulse, sensation, curiosity. đ„§
đ„§ She can be dreamy or sad and still create something beautiful. She can be joyful and scream at the same time. đ„§
đ„§ She has written diaries her entire life. Writing helps her process the world. But if she were to choose her favorite form of communication, it would always be the one beyond words. Photography helped her find her place in this modern world. It allows her to be both stimulated and protected. Expressive and held. Communicating beyond words is her favorite way of communicating. It is where her soul feels at home. Her love for taking pictures is like the link between the soul and the outer world. đ„§âđ„§
đ„§ Even when she steps away from photography, she is still creating it, simply by living. A cat watching the sunset. Sunlight sparkling on snow during a morning walk. The silence between two people by the fire. She has always been an observer. Awe comes easily to her. Seeing beauty in small things feels as natural as breathing, often easier than spoken language itself. Photography allows her to communicate the way her heart listens to the world: between the words, beneath them. đ„§
đ„§ Sabina captures. Not to possess but to commune. Her photography was born out of a need to communicate beyond words, beyond explanation, intellect and the effort of being understood. As a highly sensitive autistic person with Adhd, language can feel demanding, narrowing. Photography, on the other hand, gives her soul space. When she lifts her camera, she no longer needs to translate herself. She is allowed to be. Photography becomes a window to the soul: hers and yours.đ„§
đ„§ To be felt through an image without explanation is the deepest form of connection she knows. Even if only one soul is touched, that is enough.đ„§
đ„§ This is Sabina, moving freely, observing closely, living gently, loving openly. Always listening for what wants to be found. đ„§
