I Hope You Sleep Well

In my ongoing series of staged self-portraits, I explore how bodies are seen, interpreted and projected onto. By deliberately positioning myself, I negotiate the tension between visibility and refusal, presence and resistance. I use self-representation as a way to engage with the expectations and assumptions projected onto my body, inviting attention while withholding full access. Rather than offering a personal or biographical account, I create images that question the act of looking itself, allowing the viewer’s gaze to become uncertain and, at times, turn back onto itself. My work asserts agency through controlled self-representation while resisting fixed meanings and definitive readings.
