“The truth is like a lion. You don’t have to defend it. Let it loose; it will defend itself.” - Saint Augustine

We are all born wild. Being naked is our primal truth. My photographic practice is about remembering our sacred nature and celebrating how our bodies mirror and embody the natural world. My imagery explores relationships between the human figure and the elements by integrating the subjects into the landscape through palette, composition, and contour. I aim to capture moments of freedom through the lens and share healing in global collaborations.

Within these works, I am questioning the collateral effects of the porn industry and how they reinforce shame and discomfort around the human form. I hope to convey vulnerability and the inherent conflict of innocence versus sexuality. The history of language and art has always referenced shame as part of our existence, and the images are a reaction and an attempt to rewrite a society-imposed narrative. The process aims to liberate collaborators and viewers by finding freedom in expression and safety in oneness.
