Through my work, I navigate the lesbian gaze through my desires, making intimate and tender portraits. While creating a record of my lived experiences to show the nuanced fabric of lesbian existence, I'm driven by the themes of desire, closeness, body language and longing, with particular emphasis on relationships with past and present lovers.
Describe your photo so we can provide alt-text for future visitors to this website. Example: "Two women holding hands and smiling as they walk in a pride parade, surrounded by rainbow flags and a vibrant crowd celebrating LGBTQ+ pride."
