BIO

STATEMENT

I am a self portrait photographer who draws inspiration from various journaling exercises. My art is an extension of the visuals from my dreams, with roots in real life experiences. The beauty found in this darkness disturbs the comforted and comforts the disturbed. The attached works, “Silent Possession”, “Confessions” and “All my Hope”, represent different stages in the journey to heal from trauma and find one’s voice.
