STATEMENT
MY AIM IS NOT TO DOCUMENT, BUT TO EVOKE. FLEETING MOMENTS IN FORGOTTEN RITUALS, OR METICULOUSLY STAGED SCENES, WHERE LIFE IS GIVEN TO THE REGIONAL GARMENTS, TRANSFORMING LOCAL WOMEN INTO STOIC GUARDIANS OF CULTURAL HERITAGE.
VISUAL POETRY WHERE EVERY GLANCE UNVEILS A HIDDEN TRUTH. TRADITION SPEAKS NOT AS A RELIC, BUT AS A LIVING EXPRESSION OF IDENTITY.
