Artist Statement
Through photography, I explore beauty, vulnerability, and the subtle narratives hidden within ordinary moments, allowing intuition and curiosity to guide every shoot. I embrace spontaneity, inviting unexpected moments and imperfections into my creative process, as I believe the magic of photography lies just as much in the journey of discovery as it does in the finished image itself.
