A collection of self portraits over the years. I’ve always used photography as an expression. A way to process, to remember a certain point in my life, and a creative energy to transmute shadow. So here is a very honest recount of what they all were. 1. Sunset in a hotel room in Jakarta. I was in quarantine last year; my mental health wasn’t very good and I was nervous to be locked in a room for so long. But to my surprise, the minute I touched down my anxiety decreased dramatically. So I blasted Led Zeppelin, put on some makeup and got creative. 2. About 1am in my bedroom. I was learning how to set boundaries, coming out of a very dark time. But I felt powerful. I had just had a breakthrough and was finally finding myself again. Or should I say forging a new self. 3. This photo is difficult. It was 2019. I truly was clinging to any amount of light I could find. I had very little at the time aside from myself and my camera. Virtually every other aspect of my life was wiped out or changed forever. Photography and creativity was really my lifeline. I then went to India about a month later and began to heal. 4. I was in a hotel room. Shot through frosted glass. I was getting on a boat this day and honestly I was just feeling myself. 5. Lockdown 2020. I missed shooting models and had boats like this on my mood boards. I took my tripod to the sand flats at sunset. Danced in the mud alone. Took photos. Remembered that it was all going to be okay. Thank you for journeying with me ✨
