Director's Statement

“I have spent my past eight years focused on photography and moving images. Tried all types of photography and discovered my love for documentary photography and visual journalism. The concepts of culture, poverty and pain always intrigued me and kept me occupied searching for answers to equality and humanity.

The hunt for answers led me thoughts that evoke a feeling of respect, dignity and recognition that I try to reflect in my body of work. These thoughts push me forward into the world to capture and tell stories through my visual medium to bring change in the society.

I am currently devoted to work on a social problem Homelessness. Inspired by recent powerful projects by artists, my work explores the struggles of homelessness and desired to share the stories of individuals experiencing homelessness. My moto behind the body of work is every story is different and every story needs to be heard.”
