Cathy never goes unnoticed. Her eyes hold a focused intensity that draws you in, not through provocation but because it’s simply part of who she is. She registers everything around her with a precision that can feel almost unsettling. The way she holds her head reveals a composed pride; she isn’t looking for admiration or affection, though she accepts them only when they are sincere. In this work, I sought to reflect a presence that is firm, clear, and unmistakably self-assured. Cathy reminds us that real strength lies in knowing who we are and staying faithful to ourselves without needing anyone’s approval.

Leblanc brims with barely contained energy. Even in stillness, he seems ready to spring into motion. His ears stay alert, his eyes gleam with curiosity, and his mouth looks as if it might break into a grin at any moment. There’s something playful and unpredictable about him, as if the whole world is a game he’s always about to outwit. Rather than holding him still, I tried to let that momentum show: that flicker beneath the surface, that joyful tension in a being always on the verge of leaping forward. Leblanc makes you want to meet the world with boldness, lightness, and freedom all at once.

Léon stands tall, as he always does, in a stillness that speaks volumes. He needs no movement to leave an impression; his presence alone is enough. In this close-up, I chose to emphasize his gaze: steady, attentive, never evasive. Léon observes, but does not judge. He seems to carry the weight of time without ever losing the ability to meet the present moment fully. From him, I’ve learned to listen in silence, to trust in the quiet strength of patience, and to understand that some things reveal themselves only to those who wait.
