With the model Kira Colney for about a week, we discussed pain, joy, fear, happiness, sadness and anger and their connection with body movement.

This series of my photography focuses on the human body, especially female, as a way to tell stories and break taboos! I worked with Iranian model Naz Gharai to bring to life a visual vocabulary that is ours, but at the same time, so many other humans, especially women, can relate to it!
This series of my photography focuses on the human body, especially female, as a way to tell stories and break taboos! In this collection I photographed Forouzan! One of the brave women who shaved her head in front of me in support of women in Iran! The level of her bravery and many more women like her empowered me and pushed me to the next level of womanhood, creation and humanity!
The images are from an art performance directed by Melody Hesaraky. The performance took place in February of 2023 in an art space in Bushwick, Brooklyn! Melody Hesaraky along with model Naz Gharai performed during a show called Rouge, which was a collective of female artists performing!
