Nostalgia, power, and memory are central to my photographic practice. I recreate specific experiences from my life, aiming to evoke empathy and cultural reflection. My work presents recognisable examples of dominance and vulnerability to explore feminist themes of power and inequality. I believe that by sharing personal experiences, we can expose and challenge hidden power imbalances that perpetuate inequality. Specifically, I examine how heterosexual relationships can often become sites of significant inequality, through power imbalances, sexual coercion, domestic abuse, and unfair divisions of labour.

My current project, titled ‘eighteen’, reflects on the age at which I entered my first relationship, where my vulnerability was taken advantage of. In this work, I use my experience as a narrative voice, portrayed through self-portrait photography and complemented by poetry and prose. Through these self-portraits, I invite the viewer into a dialogue, positioning them as a figure of power in the gaze of the camera. I ask the audience to consider their own experiences of power—how they relate to it, and how they would act in the scenarios I present. While my photographs capture a brief moment of my life, I aim to give the viewer ownership of that moment, allowing them to observe, reflect, and engage with the subtext of my experiences.

There is a therapeutic aspect to my work. By recreating moments of vulnerability within unequal power dynamics, I seek to understand them and help others do the same. My drive to represent aspects of my inner life photographically stems from a deep compulsion to magnify the often-hidden dynamics of power between people.
