Way back home
I started taking self portraits over ten years ago as a way to discover myself as a person. Now I see photography as a way to know different parts of me and explore my own body. It helps me to get in touch with a deeper level of my own self love and self worth.
Photography helped me to be kinder to myself – I am now grateful for my body and what it allows me to do.

entry description
During lockdown in Ireland (2020-2021), it almost felt like I undid every bit of me in order to find a new version of me. In January/2022, the country opened back again and lifted the restrictions - and with that, I am finally putting myself back together.about the photographer
My love for photography started when my father bought me a small digital camera – I was obsessed with the idea I could keep ephemeral things alive forever.
