I take photographs because it makes me vulnerable, and I believe vulnerability is essential to building more attentive and compassionate ways of relating to the world. Through this openness, photography becomes a space of proximity—one that allows me to explore my own concerns while also encountering others.
My practice is rooted in autobiographical experience, emerging from my own mental processes, introspections, and states of consciousness, because this is what I know most intimately. I am interested in how what is deeply personal can open toward the collective, and how individual narratives can resonate beyond the self to form shared human experiences.
I understand my work as a continuous dialogue between the self and otherness. By working from my own experiences, I have come to understand that what is personal is also collective, and that bringing unconscious or internal states into visibility can transform the way we relate to ourselves and to others. In this sense, photography becomes both a mirror and a threshold: a way of seeing outward while simultaneously looking inward.
Symbolism and metaphor are central to this process, as ways of revealing what cannot always be articulated directly. As Sara Terry writes, it is “the exploration of metaphor and emotion through photography.” My images often operate in this space, where emotional and symbolic language become tools for understanding lived experience.
Photography is my foundation. It is the medium through which I have developed the most profound reflections about myself and the world around me. While photography has historically been associated with the capture of the extraordinary—the decisive moment—I have long been drawn to what is already present and often overlooked: the subtle, the ordinary, the fragmented details that constitute human life.
In this sense, my work turns toward what is constantly in front of us yet difficult to fully perceive: life itself. Through this attention to the everyday, I am interested in the paradox of existence—how what is most intrinsic to being human is also what we most easily forget.
