"Ineffable Encounter" is a self-portrait photograph series that's like stepping into a dream where every detail feels both intensely personal and otherworldly. Covered and surrounded in bold red and lit by a single light source, this series channels classic Renaissance aesthetics with a fresh, contemporary twist. The light dances across the deep tones of my skin, casting a cool blue tint that feels both striking and serene. This self-portrait is a representation of what someone's sublime and speechless reaction to having a glimpsed of a celestial being.
