The Little Lives Up Close looks at the modern experience of childhood through the eyes of children from Czechia, where I began to regularly photograph in the early months of 2024. This series focuses on the nuances of nonverbal communication–given the language barrier between me and most of the children I worked with, we communicated largely through gestures as our collaboration began. The result was a project rooted in play and spontaneity, which allowed for unfiltered images of candid emotion to arise. Currently exhibited at Koncept 0 Cafe in Praha
