I am a visual artist and photographer exploring the fragile boundaries between beauty, admiration, and the consumption of the female image.
I started my career in 2016 in fashion photography, and since 2018 have been developing personal art projects focused on themes of femininity, identity, emotional states, and transformation. Working primarily with analogue photography, I embrace the rawness and imperfections of film as part of the emotional language of my images.

about
I am a visual artist and photographer with a background in fashion photography.
Over the years my work has gradually shifted from editorial work to more personal projects. In many of them the focus remains on the human presence and the subtle ways people leave traces of themselves in the world.
I work mostly with analogue photography, although in recent projects I have also started experimenting with digital images and other visual approaches.
My work explores themes of femininity, vulnerability, presence and absence, and the fragile boundary between admiration, beauty and the ways the female image is perceived.
