I create visions that blur the line between reality and dream, where light, shadow, and form converge in surreal harmony.

“Silent Procession” is a visual elegy to the resilience of women in society— particularly those whose identities have been veiled, whose voices have been softened, and whose movements through history have often been dictated by forces beyond their control. Across cultures and centuries, women—especially those from ethnic minorities—have been shaped, restrained, and molded by the weight of patriarchal traditions, often forced into silence or conformity.
This series captures a moment of quiet defiance. The figures move in unison, their backs turned to us or their faces obscured—not out of submission, but as a statement of the weight they carry. Their anonymity speaks louder than words, mirroring the facelessness imposed on generations of women who were denied agency, yet continued to persevere.
There is power in their order, strength in their procession. While some seem to carry history’s burden, others break free, adorned in vibrant textiles that hint at cultural richness and unspoken stories. These images serve as both an acknowledgment of the past and a warning for the present, as modern society flirts again with regression, threatening the strides made toward gender and racial equality.
“Silent Procession” is not just a reflection of history—it is a call to witness, to remember, and to resist the forces that seek to erase or restrain. It invites the viewer to see these women not as passive figures, but as symbols of endurance, protest, and transformation, walking forward despite the weight of the past.

“Symbiotic Visions” is a tribute to the delicate yet powerful connection between humanity and the natural world. Rooted in a lifelong reverence for Earth’s beauty, this series explores the intricate dance between people, animals, and the ecosystems that sustain us. Each piece reflects the silent symphonies of forests, oceans, and the unspoken pact between all living beings—a relationship that has existed for millennia yet is now under threat.
From the resilience of a single tree to the harmony of a thriving coral reef, this collection is both a celebration and a warning. Witnessing the rapid decline of biodiversity has instilled in me a deep urgency—these images are not just reflections but a call to action. They ask us to reconsider our role in the natural world, not as conquerors but as stewards, honoring the wisdom of those who lived in harmony with the land long before us.
Through Symbiotic Visions, I hope to rekindle a sense of awe, responsibility, and connection—a reminder that we are not separate from nature, but an integral part of it.

“Threads” is a tribute to the rich tapestry of human diversity—each portrait woven with the shared experiences, resilience, and beauty that unite us. This series challenges exclusion and division, embracing the interconnectedness of identity beyond the shortsighted tenets of ageism, sexism, racism, and prejudice.
Inspired by my journey through different cultures, Threads invites reflection on the universal bonds that define us—our joys, struggles, and triumphs. Through each image, I seek to bridge divides, challenge perceptions, and celebrate the vibrant spectrum of human life.

“Inner Spectrum” is an intimate exploration of the human emotional landscape, a visual meditation on the unseen forces that shape our inner worlds. This series delves into the depths of joy and sorrow, connection and solitude, love and loss—mapping the intricate spectrum of emotions that define our existence. Each portrait is not merely an image but a dialogue with the soul, reflecting the universal struggles, longings, and triumphs that bind us together.
Light and shadow intertwine in these works, revealing the silent echoes of pain, resilience, and transformation. Every composition carries the weight of unspoken words, the scars of past betrayals, and the warmth of fleeting tenderness. The loss that hollows, the isolation that lingers, and the beauty that endures—all are woven into the fabric of Inner Spectrum.
Yet, this series is not just about individual experience; it is an invitation for viewers to see reflections of their own stories. It is an ode to the resilience of the human spirit—a testament to the beauty and brutality of introspection. Here, emotions breathe, silence speaks, and the intangible becomes visible.
