Why is it important that we see more photographs from women?

It's crucial because women often see and capture the invisible connections that others miss. In my own work, I'm drawn to the spaces between – the emotional landscapes, the threads that bind us across cultures and experiences. Women bring an intuitive understanding of transformation, of how identity shifts and flows rather than remaining fixed.

When I create, I'm feeling my way through relationships between people, environments, memory. This approach reveals narratives that pure observation might overlook. We need more of this relational seeing, this recognition that everything is interconnected.

The result isn't just diversity for its own sake – it's a more vulnerable point of view and deeper understanding of what it means to be human.

What do your eyes see that a man’s eyes don’t?

I hesitate to make sweeping generalizations about what all women see versus what all men see, as individual perspectives vary greatly regardless of gender. That said, my lived experiences as a woman have likely shaped what I notice and how I frame what I see. I might be more attuned to certain moments of vulnerability or connection that are sometimes overlooked. I may notice the small gestures between people, the unspoken dynamics in social situations, or the emotional weight carried in seemingly ordinary scenes. This isn't because men can't see these things, but because my experiences have taught me to look for them.

Photography, for me, isn't about claiming a perspective that's entirely unique to women, but rather about contributing my particular voice to a richer collective visual vocabulary. What matters most is the authenticity I bring to how I see and capture the world, influenced by all aspects of who I am, including—but not limited to—my experiences as a woman.
