Women frequently dwell in the shadows of their bodies, navigating a complex landscape of expectations and realities. Their experiences, from menstruation to childbirth, often go unacknowledged or stigmatized. They endure pain, discomfort, and societal pressures silently, their bodies scrutinized and commodified. Yet, within this shadowed realm, they discover resilience, reclaiming ownership of their bodies and rewriting narratives of empowerment.
Nancy Hamel (Nhi) is a photographer and artist whose work is strongly influenced by her long career in dance. She likes to be guided intuitively by her sensitivity to the environment, the play of light, and its resonance with the subject.
Her work reflects a minimalist and graphic aesthetic that captures a soft and colourful world. Her photographic approach oscillates between abstract compositions, landscapes, and portraits.
