Featuring my projects Paint It Red and Subject of Desire.
I was invited to take part in the group exhibition A Room of Her Own at Notagallery, which brought together the voices of women photographers exploring the complexity, intimacy, and political weight of female identity. The show challenged the traditional, male-dominated gaze that has long shaped visual culture — offering instead a space where women behind the camera reclaim authorship and authority over their own stories and bodies.
Rooted in feminist thought, the exhibition positioned photography as a powerful tool for visibility, disruption, and self-determination. It celebrated women not as passive muses, but as agents of transformation — artists who question, redefine, and create on their own terms.
My two contributions, Paint It Red and Subject of Desire, reflect different facets of this broader vision. Paint It Red explores menstruation as a raw and radical aesthetic experience, using real blood as pigment to challenge stigma and reclaim cyclical power. Subject of Desire, on the other hand, investigates the layered relationship between the female body and the camera—posing questions about eroticism, gaze, and consent through photography that is both intimate and subversive.
Together with the other works in the exhibition, these pieces participate in a shared call to reimagine femininity through lenses of resistance, tenderness, and bold self-expression.
