Let me be
Simone de Beauvoir said: "It is not nature that defines women; it is she who defines herself by dealing with nature on her own way." My photographs stem from a constant search for the woman's way of dealing with herself and her ways. I make connections and series, slowly piecing them together into a place of convergence and femininity. A close examination of the photographed women’s movements allows for exploration of their gaze of the world within them and around them. The therapeutic process allows the womanly self to learn to let go, float, and devote herself to the female force whose says "let me be".
Colorfulness and the female body are gathered together into a picture that tells about the movement between the search for a feminine identity, expressions of sexuality, and internality and externality.
















"Almost got what I want
Almost found what I lost
Almost saved you and myself
Almost won but it doesn't count
And never does...
Let me be let me be closer
Or let me be
Let me be"
(Almost by Tracy Chapman)
