This self-portrait shows a moment of deepest intimacy: cuddling with my baby. For me, this heartfelt gesture captures the essence of bonding: warmth, trust, and mutual acceptance.

“Bonding” stands for my conviction that love and affection are not “spoiling,” but rather the foundation on which security and self-confidence grow. Every hug is a silent promise: you are safe, you are loved, you can just be yourself.
