Portraits

I’ve learned to accept others in their entirety, even when they think differently from me. My goal is to listen, observe, and understand their way of life, which now allows me to appreciate the richness of diversity. I embarked on this journey to understand others better, to see the world through their eyes, and to truly open myself to the world and all its diversity.
