My practice uses photography to explore the body, identity, and power. I work mainly with self-portraiture and portraiture, using the body as a way to think about control, vulnerability, and how people are seen. I often use alternative photographic processes because they are slow, physical, and unpredictable, which allows the work to show labor, time, and imperfection. I move between staged and documentary approaches to question how photographs shape meaning rather than simply record reality. Overall, my work looks at how gender, intimacy, and the gaze affect the body, and how photography can make those dynamics visible and open to critique.
*Future Forward Feature "My work is considered future-forward because it centers alternative photographic processes as a way to rethink how images are made and valued today. In contrast to fast digital production, I use slow, hands-on methods that make material and labor visible in the final image. The physical nature of these processes creates photographs that feel intentional rather than disposable. By using historical techniques to address contemporary questions about the body and representation, the work links photography’s past to a more thoughtful and materially grounded future."
