My photography is raw and authentic, highlighting imperfections as an integral part of beauty. My approach is to emphasize human connection, and I'm taking the time to understand my subjects to capture their essence and create intimate and emotional images.

I use photography as a tool to capture the memory of our own bodies. My gaze tends to de-sexualize bodies, which I consider as political entities that carry the traces of our histories and are vectors of meaning. My pictures show women who proudly claim the right to dispose of their bodies which are in constant evolution and push to see other ways of seeing our femininity.
