Soap Flower

“Soap Flower” is a photographic story about the complex relationships within a family. The project is inviting us to pause our gaze at the future, to overcome the fears of today, and to return to our roots. Although it may seem simple, this journey often confronts us with emotional memories, unspoken words, and forgotten connections. The photographer builds a bridge to her grandmother, whom life separated her from long ago, through the means of visual storytelling. Aware that time cannot be reversed, she sets off one day to a small village in the Rhodope Mountains, carrying feelings of guilt and longing for forgiveness.
