Borderline is like a soul being tossed between an inner abyss, gazing both upward and downward at once. To see in two directions at the same time—on one hand, a search for identity; on the other, a fear of losing oneself. Hope lingers above, yet deep below, the feeling of being lost intertwines. With every glance, there is a fragmentation, with every reflection, a breaking point. As emotions swirl on the edge of a precipice, existence constantly teeters between creation and destruction. This photograph captures the tension of a soul caught between two worlds, confronting the fragments reflected in the mirror. On one side, the desire to rise, on the other, the fear of falling... an endless conflict.

Panic disorder is a storm that erases the boundaries of time and space; a sudden eruption of fears, echoing through the soul, trapping it in a dark spiral. In a moment of silence, every heartbeat resonates like a scream. Panic settles like an invisible weight, where every breath, every step is bound to an endless escape. This photograph reflects the unseen fear echoing within the body, an inner chaos trapped in the layers of time. In the dark corners of the human soul, a feeling of being lost manifests itself like a ghost.

This photograph aims to visualize the loss of identity and memory behind appearances.
