"A final bow to the life we chose not to lead."

Reverence is a deeply personal study of the impossible choices that define us. Drawing on the disciplined world of ballet, the film explores the sacrifice of a lifelong dream for the sake of a child’s future. I used contrasting lighting—bright, public discipline versus vibrant, neon-drenched internal turmoil—to visualize the protagonist's "pro-choice" journey through the lens of adoption. It is an act of respect for the permanence of our decisions and the emotional weight of the paths not taken.
