When I was younger, I wanted to build a garden within me. After a personal loss, I felt my inner landscape was miles of arid soil that couldn’t grow life or beauty. I decided to pick up a camera for the first time to collect the beauty I saw before my eyes. The camera I was holding became an extension of myself.

During my studies, I developed an interest in street photography, fashion and fine art. I like the stories and the meaning behind a photo, but it was never about the outside; it was about my inner world.

I returned to the flowers, to the garden I wanted to grow within. Their fragility speaks to me. 

I photograph beauty that goes beyond the bloom. Every flower I choose, and every object I pair with it, is a little confession; a diary of beauty and vulnerability, delicacy and strength: the impossible whole.
