"Doxa" is the transformation of a perspective, an impression, or a perception into reality. While exploring the fine line between reality and illusion, a different reality is constructed in each frame, and every viewer creates their own "doxa" in their mind.

An image is a reality recreated through the viewer’s gaze. A photograph not only contains what the lens sees but also the meanings constructed in the viewer’s mind. The boundary between reality and illusion, between knowledge and impression, is redrawn in every frame.

This exhibition reflects not an absolute truth, but the multiplicity of perspectives. For what we see is, in fact, what we think.
