With Dream of Sochi, I wanted to strip away the glamour often associated with professional sports and reveal the raw human reality behind the Olympic dream. This series is not only about athletic excellence, but about resilience, vulnerability, and the deep personal stakes each athlete carries. By following these six individuals across different disciplines, my goal was to create a mosaic of determination and passion that transcends sport. Their stories remind us that behind every medal chase lies a lifetime of preparation, sacrifice, and belief in something greater than oneself.
