Her artistic gaze is drawn to the unnoticed, quiet gestures, fleeting encounters and the poetic beauty of everyday moments.
Working with film is central to her artistic practice. Analog photography offers an alternative to the speed of the digital world, creating space for intuition, authenticity and refined aesthetics. Balancing documentary observation with visual storytelling, she creates images defined by a timeless, minimal visual language that explores the complexity within everyday culture. Inspired by travel, architecture, people, and landscapes, she develops atmospheric visual worlds where fragility and imperfection exist in equal measure.
