Art has always been my way of connecting with the world. I grew up without support, but that only pushed me to express more myself in art.

I’ve been working in photography for over 15 years. I create across multiple visual mediums photography, video, art direction, styling and AI-driven worlds
Where do you find inspiration?My inspiration comes from my life and personal journey: emotions, struggles, and self-exploration. I translate what I feel into my visual work. Sometimes it’s dark, sometimes vibrant, but always honest. Since moving to the US, I’ve been overwhelmed with new ideas and stories.. I’m just getting started, step by step
What would you do with $25,000?I would create an exhibition that tells my story and introduces my work to a wider audience. This would be a major step in my career. I’d also invest in new photo and video equipment to expand my creative possibilities. And I would support my mom, who lives in another country.
