Glances, wrinkles, faces. We are so many, and we are so different. Each glance is a moment, each wrinkle holds emotions, each face has a story. How beautiful it is when we allow ourselves to go deeper, to take the time to truly see another, to witness the layers of a life through the intention behind our gaze.

Her work captures and celebrates diversity, focusing on the transformative process of art-not only for the artist but for society as a whole.
