On my birthday, before my 20s flew by due to the upcoming pandemic, I went to Coney Island for a photoshoot. I waited with terrible coffee surrounded by mundane beauty at a Dunkin' Donuts, while I phoned my close friend who was in Spain. I had to stop talking tot take this moment in.

There’s an unspoken pull that’s drawing me back to the city I was raised in: La Marque, Texas, a small city by the coast. I revisited my hometown in Texas over the winter break to photograph. I'm interested in learning more about Asian/Asian American history in order to situate my family narrative in a broader context. Growing up in a community without people who looked like me, I always felt like an outsider. I’m using photography to explore my past, my family’s past, and our place in this town.

The photographs reproduce various aspects of the wartime experience, including fear of loss, de- termination to provide protection for children, and leaving a legacy that transcends generations. Each frame in this project is an allegory reminding us of the inner strength and struggle of parents raising children in times of war.

This piece captures isolation, emphasizing the silent weight of loneliness. Created during a personal struggle with alcohol issues, it reflects the emptiness that often accompanies inner conflict. By manipulating the space around the subject, I invite viewers to navigate their own moments of solitude and inner struggles.

This photograph captures a moment of quiet introspection in a cozy, intimate café. The woman, seated with a notebook and a glass of wine, seems lost in thought, reflecting on her inner world while the warm, ambient light enhances the atmosphere of solitude and contemplation. The surrounding environment, filled with details and soft shadows, evokes a sense of nostalgia, inviting the viewer to pause and engage in their own reflections. The image explores the intersection of personal space, memory, and creativity, offering a poetic glimpse into a fleeting moment of stillness.

Using the sounds and music from Hitchcock's film "Rear Window," I decided to create a series of analog and digital photographs on the same theme: voyeurism.

This Self-portrait is a subtle critique of the expectations placed on women, with the bathroom serving as a liminal space—a place of both cleansing and concealment. This duality offers a rich commentary on the complexities of womanhood: the desire to live up to ideals of beauty and grace, but also the personal, often hidden, struggles behind that veneer. It is a meditation on the feminine experience, self-representation, and autonomy.

In ‘Don’t Trust Pretty Girls’, I explore my relationship with my family in-law. The title refers to the tattoo on the grandfather’s left arm. I staged situations based on stories and memories the family confided in me. Using both existing and invented narratives, a play of possibilities opens a new space to the viewer. Tension between the real, fantasy and the unknown, leaves room to question what you see.

Inspired by family meals and the loneliness around the dining table full of distant family and distant friends. I directed situations that are familiar to me from my experience with the help of family and friends.

Will you marry me, Mary? - Will you marry me, Mary? - yes, - and marry me quick? - yes, but who is speaking? The project is built around the author's interaction with her husband and tells about the intimacy people form in long-term relationships (12 years together). The photos expose and highlight human insecurity and fragility, which are often hidden behind the traditional view of marriage. Anonymizing using light and theatrical and unnatural poses, the effect of alienation is produced. The author invites viewers to see her relationship from the inside, to be a voyeur of the secret, to feel like a body, full of feelings and emotions, stopped for a moment in the reflections of sunlight as if in yellow- hot amber.

This project was done as a part of the residence program ‘Body in the space of well-being’ in Nuremberg. The goal of the residence was to provide safe space and support Ukrainian artists. Despite the peaceful surroundings, and atmosphere of well-being this only underlined the huge difference between the picture around and inner state. Total alienation and dissociation between what you see and how it feels.

This cinematic picture invite you to dive deep into your subconsciousnes and explore the connections of different aspects of your ego. In the labyrinth of existence, each individual embodies a multitude of selves, each shaped by experiences, dreams, and emotions. This collection of identities are visualized, photography serves as a tool to blur the line between reality and illusion, to create a surrealistic dreamscape by manifesting the many of me.

My photographic work explores the beauty of everyday life, documenting the real and often mundane aspects of people's lives that appear extraordinary through a still image. I like to capture the essence of a fleeting moment and transport the viewer to a place both physical and emotional that differs from their own reality.

Festa is a celebration in Portuguese. People are hungry for festa. And the scarier the world around them, the more and more people want to celebrate. This project focuses on the visual images of insecurity and fear that manifest themselves during the celebration. It was filmed over the last three years in Portugal, a country that has not seen war for a very long time.

A swirling staircase, like a magical spiral, winds its way up into a forgotten, grand building. The walls are a faded, greyish hue, with old posters and portraits clinging to them. The light and shadows create a mysterious atmosphere. It's like a scene from a vintage anime, or a magical girl adventure.

The project, Vitruvian Woman, spars with Da Vinci’s representation of “the perfect man”, a drawing and representation that has influenced young architects and thus the built environment at its foundation. Vitruvian Woman seeks to exaggerate, skew, and poke fun at classical postures and proportions, as well as their orders.
