“I like to tell stories about everyday heroes to build bridges and break barriers. I capture people in empty scenes and spaces and uncover the soul of people by photographing their actions.
“My new body of work is about women in their daily lives. I am fortunate to be part of a generation of women that has choice and individual rights; we can decide to have a career and support our families. In all cultures, women share the struggle to find the balance betweenness, dreams, ambitions, reality, family, work and volunteering. Three years ago, it struck me, I needed to tell our story. I finally understood how to give a voice to many women preceding us and the generations to come. I could reveal their lives and remove the cloak of invisibility society places on us. I wish to use my art to showcase great stories and inspire others.
“For the project, I decided to profile 12 women. To magnify the impact of these women, I decided to show them out of context, contrasting them with singers, boxers, artists, dancers celebrities, business leaders and politicians.
Here are the first five, a glimpse of their stories.
Thank you,
