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

To see the full picture. To make room for more ways of paying attention. To have the freedom to see through eyes that haven’t always been allowed to look openly. To reveal quiet, uncomfortable truths.

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

I think this is something that should be explored through practice rather than theory. Relying on binary notions of gendered perception can easily fall into clichés and polarizations, limiting female's narratives and the way we perceive ourselves. For me, it’s not just about what we see, but about the places from which we see or speak. For example, describing the female gaze as inherently more sensitive reinforces a stereotype of femininity that we must challenge. The female gaze can also be sharp, rational and raw. And in recent years, working alongside my partner, I’ve found that the male gaze can also be deeply sensitive, vulnerable, and subtle, when men allow themselves to inhabit those spaces as well.
