This series explores the fragile boundary between the female body and nature by blending it with floral forms. Parts of the body are deliberately erased or concealed to reflect questions of visibility, censorship, and societal norms. The flowers act as symbols of memory, transience, and silent resistance. Rather than evoking eroticism, the work treats the body as a neutral surface—abstract, sculptural, and biological. Through this fusion, it questions identity, perception, and the roles imposed on the body by culture and gaze.

Currently active across a wide range of fields, including advertising and magazines, specializing in
beauty, fashion, and portrait photography.
