Forms of Disappearance

What does it mean to witness someone without truly seeing them? In this ongoing series, I explore identity through absence — moments where the human form is present, yet obscured. These are not portraits in the traditional sense. They are quiet studies in posture, shadow, and suggestion — expressions of self that arise through what is withheld.

Each image captures a different kind of disappearance — not an erasure, but a shift. A withdrawal into the symbolic, the poetic, the universal.

These photographs explore identity through absence. The human form appears — cropped, obscured, turned away — yet their presence radiates. Levy gives us moments of expression without face, of stories told through posture, tension, and shadow.
