Her work treats the subject as contingent — shaped by shifts in space, structure, and the weight of historical and religious reference. Rather than fixed narrative, she constructs layered visual situations built on suggestion, symbolism, and fractured storytelling. Photography, in her practice, becomes a site of instability rather than documentation: meaning perpetually disrupted and reassembled, producing new conditions of intimacy, reverence, and distortion.
