Story

She's is an ongoing observational photography series reflecting on the notion of feminine identity in contemporary society.

Feminine identity cannot be understood as something fixed or universal. The term acts as a vast white screen projecting an endless chain of constructions and fantasies based on patriarchal structures, feminist resistance, media influence, etc. Full of myths and controversies, it is a challenging space to navigate; the space where traditional values and contemporary concepts are closely entwined, rubbing against each other. Self-identity is an underlying factor when engaging with these constructions and fantasies; thus, contesting and adopting some of their elements allows this journey to be a profoundly personal experience.

Embracing and honoring the contingent and dynamic nature of feminine identity, the series is not meant to be an exhaustive catalog, rather it is a creative attempt to frame an elusive and complex nature of feminine identity at the level of a public space.
