BS, Art

I am fascinated by the power of nostalgia and the way it shapes our understanding of the world. I aim to capture the essence of what it means to exist somewhere between past and present, memory and reality. I meld these themes with the experience of being a girl living in a patriarchal society and use my personal experiences and those of others, to capture the fleeting moments of innocence, wonder, and vulnerability inherent in girlhood.
