ARTIST STATEMENT
Through the lens and on the stage, I navigate the complexities of identity and perception. My photographs are not just captured moments but performances, where every frame is a scene I've both witnessed and acted within. I explore the interplay between reality and illusion, using light, shadow, and emotion to craft narratives that resonate on a personal and universal level.
As an actress, my photographs are my scripts, my characters, my silent monologues. Each image is a still from a life lived in front of countless unseen audiences, where the camera is both director and spectator. My art is an invitation to see through the eyes of another, to experience the ephemeral and the eternal, to feel the pulse of stories untold yet vividly portrayed.
