With the camera itself at the intersection of a moment and the infinite, photography has always been my way of engaging with the world—of seeing and being seen, of wrestling with memory and shaping all the above. I hope my work reflects femininity as power, the delicate as unbreakable, and the quiet as deeply expressive.
