Beyond the Silence is an ongoing photographic project about fathers and their queer sons.
The work explores closeness and distance, expectations of masculinity, and the silence that often runs through families. Rather than telling a single story, it brings together different experiences and relationships.
The portraits emerge from long conversations and are photographed on analogue film. Each image becomes a quiet encounter between two people and the space they share — a space that acts as a silent co-author, adding another narrative layer to the relationship.
The project began as a personal attempt to understand the photographer's own relationship with his father and has since grown into a broader exploration of family, identity, and belonging.
