In The Scent of Secrets, I aimed to express the intimate tension between concealment and revelation. Framed by deep red curtains, the subject cradles a bouquet of roses—each bloom a silent confidant. Her downcast gaze and the soft lace at her shoulder evoke the private space where whispered truths linger. Through the interplay of shadow and warm light, this portrait invites viewers to sense the unspoken stories carried in every petal, and to consider how beauty and mystery intertwine in the secrets we keep.
