My self-portraits are made in a dark room and then printed using the cyanotype method. I added other objects to complement the composition during contact printing to better convey a nostalgic, immersed mood. My inner garden is a poetic exploration of the self and nature, using the cyanotype technique to weave a narrative that transcends the boundaries of time and medium. It is a journey through the tender intersections of nostalgia and self-awareness, where the language of flowers meets the canvas of personal reflection.
