Just as I cherish every moment spent with my Human subjects, my heart finds equal joy in caring for animals.

Their unpredictability is a canvas onto which I paint stories of wonder and awe.
This ongoing project, born from a deep-seated love for both photography and the animal kingdom, is a testament to my commitment to unraveling the beauty and complexity of our non-human companions. In the soft glow of studio lighting, amidst the familiar hum of the photographic process, these creatures reveal their innermost selves, allowing me to immortalise their spirit in every frame.

As an artist, I am compelled to confront the harsh realities of our world, even when they weigh heavy on the heart. In my personal project, I turned to the visceral symbolism of blood mingling with water to portray the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine—a conflict that has claimed the lives of innocent children and women, leaving behind a trail of sorrow and despair in both sides.
The crimson tendrils of blood, diffusing into the tranquil waters, form a hauntingly beautiful yet poignant representation of the senseless violence that plagues our world. It speaks volumes of the profound loss, the anguish, and the desperate need for peace that echoes through the ages.
Through this short video, I aim to provoke reflection and inspire empathy, urging viewers to confront the stark reality of war and its devastating impact on humanity. It is a solemn reminder of our collective responsibility to strive for understanding, compassion, and reconciliation, lest we perpetuate the cycle of suffering for generations to come.
I hope to ignite a spark of awareness and ignite the flames of empathy, fostering a renewed commitment to seek peaceful solutions in a world marred by conflict and division. For only through unity and understanding can we hope to heal the wounds of the past and forge a path towards a brighter, more compassionate future.

Recently, film photography has become my latest obsession. Despite initially learning cinematography with ARRI 435 in film school, I never had the chance to shoot a project on actual film due to the closure of the last film lab.
