My work gives form to emotion. Through photography and painting, I use the body as an emotional landscape to explore psychological and emotional states that often exist beyond language. Gesture, movement, color, and the vulnerability of the body become ways of expressing what words cannot. Rooted in personal and often unconscious explorations of my inner world, my work seeks to create connection through experiences that are deeply human and widely shared.

The Shadow Self series explores the hidden world beneath the surface. A realm of shadows, dreams, abstractions, and emotional states centered around the human form. Inspired by Carl Jung’s concept of the “shadow self,” the series became an experimental exploration of the emotions and aspects of ourselves that remain unseen or unacknowledged. By photographing subjects of different ages, body types, and backgrounds, I began to see something universal emerge: a shared inner landscape of fleeting emotions, vulnerability, and the unseen.

Printed on diaphanous fabric, the images create an ethereal world that is constantly in motion. There is something fleeting about these pieces, like unconscious thoughts and the hidden parts of ourselves, they are difficult to grasp and hold onto.

“Everyone carries a shadow, and the less it is embodied in the individual’s conscious life, the blacker and denser it is.”
— Carl Jung “Psychology and Religion” (1938)
