She is an artist and designer who uses black and white film to produce photographs and photograms through a meticulous analog darkroom process, a deeply cathartic ritual.
Her images are romantically solitary and ethereal as they present emblems of loneliness, longing, nostalgia and femininity. With hints of isolation and speckles of imagination, she explores the subjects of her portraits as a paradox of the internal versus the external, and where they meet, using time, space, light and chemistry to deconstruct the experiential universe. Her series Proof of Presence won first place in the Art Jameel Photography Award in 2016. Her clothing label, MMXO, is an ode to cotton, linen + comfort.
