Born 1987, I began photographing at the age of twelve. Photography has always played a central role in my life as a tool capable of capturing the fleeting beauty of the everyday life.
My work is influenced by the people around me and whilst my early work focused on nature, becoming a mother has profoundly reshaped my photographic research leading me to focus on people and the human condition using the photographic medium as a tool for investigation and self analysis. In my works I usually start from personal stories that can have a universality depicting a woman's key stages in life such as childbirth, motherhood and aging. Combining the intimate sphere with that of nature is a distinctive element of my visual signature.
