her roving trajectory has led her towards “constant observation of how religion, spirituality, culture, social status, race or other factors affect the way we decide to dress, get tattooed, feel erotic, repress, or hide the body.”My photos have become more close-up and detailed, as I have noticed that what I am interested in is not so much about identity and culture, but a subtle abstract sensibility, contained within the pictorial and poetic.
