Photography became my voice when words failed me. Art is what takes us beyond ourselves and helps us truly connect.
You decide who will appear in Artforum Magazine, take home $25,000, and display their work at The Art of Elysium's Salon!
I love photographing people. Every face carries a universe, and for me photography is a way to feel it, translate it, and create something alive from that connection.
Where do you find inspiration?I’m inspired by emotions, pain, music, cinema, and human connection. I love capturing reality, but also transforming it into my own visual universe.
What would you do with $25,000?Life as an immigrant and mother of two far from home is a challenge, but art gives me strength and belonging. My dream is to create an Art House: a hub for exhibitions, workshops, seminars, and artistic meetups. I want to build a space where people connect through photography and creative journeys, a place where art makes everyone feel at home. Staying true to one's identity is the heart of my vision and my path.
