My photography is a fusion of art and activism and is particularly motivated by feminism's pursuit of justice for all living creatures. The politics and critical research that underlie each project, however, are not overt; rather, I strive to create entry points of playfulness and beauty in order to activate the viewers’ emotions and empathy. I am interested in unearthing some of the contradictions that exist beyond the dominant narratives of Western Culture and thus I strive to expand the boundaries of seeing. My images blur the dichotomies of self/other and victor/victim in the power binaries of Western Culture and, through photography's tradition of documenting ‘the real,’ my work participates in the politics of representation by contributing alternative photographic ‘evidences.’
