“Pride Within” explores the idea of earned pride, a pride that grows through experience, resilience, and connection. This contemporary art exhibition follows the coming-of-age story of Kaito, a young boy whose personal evolution reflects the universal passage from innocence to self-awareness.
Through a poetic sequence of portrait photographs, the series captures the quiet yet transformative moments that shape identity: early curiosity, the testing of boundaries, lessons drawn from family and community, and the inheritance of cultural wisdom passed down through generations.
