The ceremony has ended
When I lived with my parents, a vacant lot nearby often held family gatherings and events. Once the celebrations concluded, I would watch as the structures were dismantled. I was struck by the irony of a place that appeared almost haunted and post-apocalyptic once was a backdrop for families celebrating their most joyful moments of their lives.
Brushfire
I've always felt a strong connection to the fire element, even before I learned that it corresponds to my astrological sign. As a child, I often experimented with burning various objects at home to observe how they reacted to flames. My mother sought advice from child therapists, who suggested that my fascination with fire was a way to cope with bullying both at home and school. Fire was my closest companion during my upbringing, and creating this series brought me as much satisfaction as my childhood experiments with burning objects.

Body electric
Body Electric is a collection of self-portraits that delve into the dynamic representation of the body's energy field, commonly referred to as the aura. Although it cannot be seen with the naked eye, I capture its essence using decorative lights in long exposure frames.
Afterglow
I have always been captivated by psychedelic images and visuals long before I explored substances that amplified them. The bright, vibrant colors and dynamic movements inspired me to express these psychedelic and kaleidoscopic patterns visually. This shoot took place in a dark room, utilizing colorful optical fiber decorative lights captured in long exposure frames, which were then digitally arranged.
Karmascope
Karmascope series draws inspiration from the colors, shapes and patterns found in nature and biology. Beauty lies in the eyes of the beholder and as humans, we are fortunate to visually explore the diverse forms of nature and their vivid hues. I embody the colorful environment viewed through a kaleidoscopic perspective, where the characters repeat on all four sides.
Bio-dentity
In psychology, identity disorder or bi-polar disorder is a condition where a person looses a sense of self and starts identifying themselves as someone else. Inspired from this condition, I created a collection of floral portraits where I morph two different kinds of flowers as one, exploring the possibilities of how this mental disorder translates visually if a flower starts identifying itself as another type of flower.
