About me

Photography is the opposite of forgetting. Through it, I preserve time, hold onto moments that might otherwise disappear, and make visible the traces of life that are too fragile, complex, or silenced to be fully articulated in words. My practice is rooted in feminist empowerment, self-defined freedom, religion and spirituality, and emerges from my lived experience as the daughter of migrants navigating multiple worlds at once. 

I use photography to understand why things are the way they are: how social and political structures shape our lives, how tradition and autonomy can coexist, and how personal and collective histories are carried within the body. In a world where certain lives and experiences are flattened, misunderstood, or excluded, my work offers a counter-narrative grounded in care, complexity, and self-representation. I am interested in what is often left unseen or unspoken, and how photography can create space for other ways of seeing and knowing. 

My work moves between the intimate and the political, where memory, identity, and inherited worlds intersect. I hope my images invite viewers to enter unfamiliar territories with empathy and openness, not as distant observers but as participants willing to reflect on the structures, silences, and stories that shape us all. 

Ultimately, my practice is not only a way of making sense of my own life, but also a way of engaging others in questions of belonging, recognition, and how we might live with greater understanding of one another.
