Photo library
I capture moments that blend movement, emotion, and storytelling. Through my lens, I explore the connection between dance, body expression, and the spaces we inhabit. Here, you’ll find a selection of my photographic work—snapshots of performances, creative processes, and inspiring encounters.
In every voice, echoes the history of a people, and in every dance, the resonance of ancestors.
