An act of Romance (2025)
I am interested in exploring ways in which we can relate romantically to ourselves, to life, and to each other, what that can mean in this time, and how it can take shape. For this series, An Act of Romance (2025), I worked with two friends of mine who are in a romantic relationship. They exchanged clothing and adopted poses in which they alternate between leading and following. I consider this an ‘Act of Romance.’

The Secret Garden (2024) 
I feel drawn to themes such as sensuality, sexuality, eroticism, and romance, particularly the boundary between what remains private and what is shared. The idea for this shoot emerged from a desire to create a ‘romantic’ photoshoot. Together with two friends, the shoot became an intimate outing, a shared journey to our Secret Garden. The photos were taken in a garden shed, a place that evokes the symbolism of a ‘Secret Garden.’ At the same time, the title refers to a personal or shared fantasy, imagined as the inner garden. Through these works, I aim to challenge the limitations and clichés surrounding female desire and open up space for a richer, freer perspective. My two friends and I considered this shoot an act of romance.
