My work embodies friendship and within it a continuous search for human connection. I cast myself onto my subjects - the energy within the images I make is shared. I want my work to explore women’s vulnerabilities and their sexual powers. The women I photograph are entities of beauty and empowerment; they are in a space where they are not shamed for being exposed or simply themselves. I want my images to act: these women are subjects bursting into a space of their own.   When I connect with my subjects, I see another version of myself and our feelings are shared in the reflection of one another. On a level of solidarity, we connect as women, we become our own muses as we bask in spaces of self-worship and female experience. This collective strength becomes the tool of our female power. I see my work as a documentation of my friends throughout their youth. I want the women I photograph to be seen for who they are and for them to express this in the way they are comfortable with, rather than at the view of a low quality smartphone ‘selfie’. I want my images to appear beautiful and seduce the viewer into the idea of a new gaze to shape how women are looked at by others in society.
