a mother, wife, and working girl, looking pretty… And we’ve
been told that sky is the limit. That we can do and handle what
ever we want. But what happens if little by little you discover
your ‘feminine side’ is given you a lot of trouble. Your health
problems are keeping you from concurring the world.
Sore Ground is a photographic testimony of my self, an
observation of my inner self. A side, a reality, I wasn’t keen to
show to others. Nor was I ready to accept it my self. I could not

and create at the same time.

together to strengthen each other and show the feeling I try to
communicate through my work.’
