Through the lens of self-portrait photography, I find both solace and liberation. Each click becomes a brushstroke on the canvas of my inner world, crafting images that move beyond clarity and precision to delve into the intricate tapestry of human emotion and experience. My work navigates the darker aspects of existence, while simultaneously questioning the mystic and philosophical dimensions that call to me.

​

By balancing physical filters, shutter speed, ambient light, and avoiding clear, crisp images, I aim to capture more than mere likeness. Each self-portrait becomes a gateway through which I explore and confront the shadows of my past—experiences shaped by trauma, abuse, and the unique complexities of being an autistic individual.

​

Rooted in my childhood fascination with romanticism paintings, my art serves as both a sanctuary and a canvas. It is a space where I process difficult emotions that often defy words, reclaiming my narrative by transforming pain into power and vulnerability into strength. Through these images, I seek to connect with the shared depths of our human experience, offering a visual language for what often remains unspoken.
