Beyond the Ideal - 2024
What really is the male gaze and how do we reclaim our self-image? This fashion shoot focuses on a subtle shift from the perception of women through the male gaze, evolving into reclaiming self-worth in how we are viewed.
Traces: What Remains - 2025
Knowingly or unknowingly, everyone leaves their mark on the Earth. Inspired by everyday marks I have often seen as inconsequential - cemented footprints, cigarette butts, or abandoned articles of clothing - this photographic series was created with the goal of demonstrating human trace through the absence of people. Each image reflects the subtle ways our lives shape and alter everyday environment, whether through fleeting gestures or permanent imprints. The final photographic book, Traces: What Remains? Invites viewers to reflect on what we, the human society, leave behind. Beyond the physical remnants, what do these marks say about who we are? As the artist, I hope my work will push viewers to further question this concept - after all is said and done, when we have lived our lives, what remains - is it something to be proud of?
6th Sense - 2025
6th Sense is an eight-image series that examines the human subject and how it understands the world through both physical senses, and the internal one that guides us: intuition. As humans, we develop intuition to try and fill in the blanks of what we miss. Through a variety of staged portraits, this series focuses on how people connect with their environments at a physical level, highlighting the reliance we have on these capabilities. The narrative positions intuition, or self-awareness, as an unspoken sixth sense, revealing it to be an inherent element of the human experience.
Draped - 2026
My series, Draped, explores the act of dressing in a sari as a narrative of cultural identity, memory, and inheritance. Through a sequenced process of portraits, I document my mother and sister in the process of draping a sari, focusing on the act of helping each other, the community experience of wearing one, as well as the fabric details. By withholding their faces, the focus shifts away from the individuals and instead emphasizes the cultural act and knowledge that is performed.
