My dream is to become the most sought-after model. It sounds too loud, and I'm even a little embarrassed to admit it out loud. But it's true. I want to be recognized, invited to shoot, and my photos to inspire girls all over the world. I want to prove to myself that even a quiet and modest girl can become someone more. Sometimes I feel like I'm not confident enough for this industry because there are so many perfect people around. But then I remember how much I love it all, and I keep going.

I guess I'm not like the girls who are always confident and know what to say. I often get confused, think a lot, and worry about nothing. But I have dreams, feelings and a great desire to become a better person. And maybe that's what makes me real. I'm just Agnes. A girl from Singapore who loves fashion, coffee, evening walks and filming. A girl who is still a little shy of the world, but really wants to conquer it one day.

I've loved fashion since I was a k i d. For some, it's just clothes, beautiful photos or shows, but for me it's a whole world in which you can be different. I love cameras, I love shooting, I love the moment when the photographer says "perfect" and you suddenly start to feel more confident. I like to pose, to look for emotions with my eyes, movements, details. Sometimes I'm shy of people, but in front of the camera, it's like I'm becoming a different version of myself—bolder, more beautiful, and more real. I love walking in the evenings, especially when the city glows after the rain. I like to go into cozy coffee shops, sit with hot coffee and look out the window while people are in a hurry. In such moments, I feel calm. I also love yoga — it helps me to collect my thoughts and calm the anxiety inside a little. Because, to be honest, I worry a lot.

My name is Agnes, I'm 18, and all my life I've lived in Singapore, a city that never sleeps, where everything is bright, noisy, in a hurry, and always seems to know where to go next. And I... I've probably always been a little quiet in this vast world. It's easier for me to observe than to talk loudly about myself. But I have a very big dream inside of me.

I am very afraid of heights. Even when I just look down from a tall building, my heart starts beating faster. But I'm probably even more afraid of being alone. Sometimes I'm afraid that one day no one will be around, that they will forget me or stop loving me. Because of this, I often hide my real feelings and pretend that everything is fine. Although I'm very vulnerable inside.
