Series

Unbound

This series reflects a personal journey shaped by the belief that, in order to be loved or even accepted, I had to look beautiful—beautiful in the way society defines it: polished, styled, and always presentable. For years, I conformed—wearing makeup, choosing outfits carefully, doing my hair—not out of joy, but out of a quiet fear that being natural, being myself, wasn’t enough. These pressures weren’t just about beauty—they were about being seen as appropriate, worthy, lovable.

Now, I’m learning to let go of that narrative. I’ve always been drawn to the natural, but only recently have I allowed myself to live that truth without guilt, without apology. This series is a quiet celebration of that shift—a process of unlearning, of softening, of returning to who I was before the world told me how I had to appear. It’s about reclaiming love—not as something earned through appearance, but as something I can give to myself, just as I am.

Portals

This series explores the involuntary ways shame still lives in the body, even when the mind feels at peace with the past. Inspired by the idea that “mistakes are the portals of discovery,” these images reflect the tension between regret and growth—and the healing that comes from learning to laugh, remember, and release.

The quote “A man of genius makes no mistakes. His errors are volitional and are the portals of discovery.”

While James Joyce spoke of artistic genius, this idea resonates personally: Our emotional “mistakes” and moments of shame are also portals—pathways to self-awareness and healing.

Transfiguration

This series is about the quiet, often messy process of change—the kind that
starts when you finally let go of what’s been weighing you down. For me, it
meant facing discomfort, old habits, and versions of myself that no longer felt
true.

It’s not about becoming someone new, but about
stripping things back and getting closer to who I really am. Transfiguration is a reflection of that slow,
personal shift—releasing, reconnecting, and learning to feel fully again. These
images hold moments of that journey: from tension to softness, from hiding to
honesty.
