Between fragility and resilience.
Between myth and flesh.
Self-portrait created in 2026. A raw, unfiltered record of time written into the body.

I photograph from the perspective of an internal rupture, redefining the boundaries of somatic presence. My gaze — shaped by over half a century of existence and the lived experience of my own non-normative body — utterly rejects superficial aestheticization.
For me, disability is not a technical barrier. It is a consciously chosen investigative position: a filter through which I deconstruct the intricate relationship between form, matter, and impermanence. Everything that escapes the final frame, the unmanaged thoughts, and the raw residue of this process, is left in the marginalia.
I am profoundly interested in the body as a site of memory, trauma, and transformation. Every wrinkle, scar, and limitation constitutes an autonomous layer of visual narrative.
I reject urgency. My studio and open-air sessions often last for hours, allowing for full synchronization with the medium, the light, and the emotional resonance of the subject.
