“My work lives in the space between fashion and personal storytelling, often focusing on vulnerability and intimacy of human emotions. I’m drawn to moments when the subject feels most themselves — subtle, unguarded, and emotionally resonant. As a female image-maker, I’m interested in how softness can carry power, and how quiet moments can speak the loudest.
“I studied journalism in my bachelor’s, and it was during a photojournalism class that I first began using a camera seriously. But instead of documenting the news, I found myself spending more time photographing my friends — styling outfits, choosing locations, and creating little visual worlds together. Their positive response encouraged me to keep going, and I suppose that was the beginning of my path into fashion photography. I was also deeply drawn to the fluid, emotive beauty in Harley Weir’s work at that time.
“Still wearing last night is a project about the public hangover. It came to me while I was staying in Tokyo last December— right around New Year. I was then reminded of those classic photos of Japanese salarymen sleeping on benches or train platforms — a uniquely visible outcome of exhaustion in a culture that otherwise values control. But in reality, this doesn’t only happen to office workers. It can happen to anyone. I wanted to reimagine this collective fatigue through a fashion lens, to make it visible, and more poetic. I invited the models to drift through public spaces — the streets, convenience stores, train stations — still wearing the outfits from last night. They collapse gently into the city, their personal emotions leaking into the public stage. There’s tension in that, like a soft rebellion.
“My creative scenes exist at two extremes... one is when I’m alone at home — I like to play music that fits my mood, light some incense, and then start my creative journey. My scene is also at clubs — techno raves are a kind of meditation for me, that long, repetitive rhythm helps me go inward. I often close my eyes and find new visual ideas in that stillness.
“I’m currently developing a long-term photography project that leans more toward fine art. It explores queer motherhood and nontraditional maternal roles through the lens of queer identity. I’m in the stage of casting, so I’m open to hearing from people or recommendations! I’ll also be working on a dance short film. It’s still in concept stage, but will likely center around themes of love and rituality.”
