Shadow of Purity addresses the history of how women have been documented, specifically through the photographic image, and how this subjectivity continuously shapes the way they understand and inhabit their own sexuality and self-image. 

A history written by men has created a dissonance that forces women to see themselves as both subject and object. These portraits confront how deeply these inherited views become internalized, influencing not only how women are perceived but how they have come to perceive themselves.

This body of work does not seek to resolve this conflict, but simply to remain within it. It is an exploration of the unstable position between inherited ways of seeing and the ongoing effort to define oneself beyond them.
