Bio

As an artist, I am interested sparking dialogue about authenticity and the societal pressures of happiness. By exploring the subtleties of body language, facial expressions, and the female-to-female connection, I aim to understand those emotional complexities we navigate in this new era.

In Screened Smiles, I stage photographs of seemingly intimate scenes of young women engaging with each other and their smartphones.

These images give the illusion of a place filled with personal secrets and bonds only shared by the group of women. However, the omnipresence of phones highlights that there is often no “behind the scenes” for my generation, as everything is shared with the public.
