TITLE: Facing It

I am a visual artist who speaks through the lens - using photography as a vessel for self-inquiry, emotional resonance, and lyrical storytelling. My work moves between self-portraiture, experimental florals, abstraction and emotion - where identity is not fixed, but layered, abstracted, and continuously reimagined.

Inspired by my background in theatre and vocal performance, I carry a love for transformation. Each photograph is a moment from an unfolding, internal play - some staged, others stolen in their spontaneity. I am drawn to both the narrative and the pause, and the in-betweens that often say the most. At the heart of my work lies duality - photography as both mirror and threshold. Within this poetic tension, I explore the tender seams of psyche, ego, spirit, and soul, crafting visual subjects that feel both intimate and yet universal. With my camera as compass, I trace the intricate edges of my inner world seeking the moments where emotion spills into form.
My work comes from with my personal photographs, I use techniques such as ICM, blur, layering, and multiple exposures - both in and out of camera. These methods allow me to move beyond the literal and into a dreamlike terrain. Each frame is a gesture of curiosity, a fragment of a story unfolding in the space between self and viewer.

In every piece of my art, I hope to build a bridge - one that reaches from the depths of my inner world to the heart of the viewer, where vulnerability meets vision, and self recognition and humanity are reflected back.
