Through self-figurative photography rooted in my body and inherited land, I navigate identity, grief, aging, and menopause, weaving personal history with raw emotion to challenge perceptions of the female experience. I create self-figurative photographs blending portraiture, memory, and place. Incorporating family heirlooms, my own hair, and intimate close-ups, I express a kaleidoscope of feelings: tenderness, anger, pride, grief, and a stubborn, unyielding hope.
