More about the photos
My personal photography projects are a direct reflection of my experience as a female born and raised in Brazil.
After living in the UK for nine years, it is now even more evident how deeply I have been affected by gender and race conflicts in Brazil, which is not only the worst country in South America for gender equality but also one of the most unequal countries in the world.
Profoundly committed to photographing underrepresented subjects - mental health, gender, race, cultural diversity - I approach portraiture with a documentary eye but I'm in no way bound by a strict documentary approach. Quite the opposite, while photographing sensitive and social-inspired subjects I deliberately use colour, body expressions and allegory to convey a complex range of feelings.
From determination, freedom and uniqueness to isolation, fear and abandon, my photographs aim to start a conversation about how it feels to experience life as part of non-dominant and underrepresented groups, set apart by gender, sexual orientation, mental health, culture or race.
Lately I've been enjoying playing with the relationship between humans and plants in my portraiture work.
