mixed media artist driven by nostalgia and storytelling, inspired by the aesthetics of early 2000s and late 90s media. My fine art explores themes of mental illness, addiction, and time, while my editorial work connects fashion to women's stories. Through photography, videography, and design, I aim to create meaningful narratives that resonate on both a personal and cultural level.
