Inspired by the work of Sally Mann, my photography delves into the vivid contrasts between the untarnished essence of youthful innocence and the profound marks of time. Sally Mann’s dedication to capturing natural, unposed expressions profoundly shapes my creative process. Her ability to reveal the soul through simple, honest visuals has guided me to focus on the raw simplicity of youth juxtaposed against richly textured backdrops of decay and degradation.

In my work, I aim to echo this dialogue between purity and erosion. Through my lens, I capture moments that highlight the fleeting nature of youth of women, set against environments that bear the weight of time. This interplay not only underscores the temporal fragility of human life but also evokes a sense of timeless beauty amid the inevitable.
