My
ethos

My work is varied. At times I just need to immortalize memories - take snapshots of family moments, or otherwise document the beauty of existence. At other times I seek to make the overlooked visible - creating space for stories, desires, and identities often erased or distorted in culture and media, especially those of sex workers, kinksters, and people who form unconventional relationships. I’ve found that humans - and our relations to each other - fascinate me. I explore hidden thought patterns shaping our views on sex and identity, rooted in historical, political, and existential contexts.

Through art and conversation, I examine the complexities of human psychology, the tension between ideals and reality, and how shame and insecurity can drive the need for control. I aim to create presence; moments where audiences feel seen and moved, yet also challenged in their take on accepted truths.

I promote a healthy, open, and consent-based social culture. I value integrity, safety, and clear communication, and I focus on social, economic, and environmental sustainability. Drawing from personal experience, I address equality, human rights, and sexual rights, highlighting issues such as sex worker marginalization, masculinity norms, and the Madonna–whore dichotomy.
