The Dance of the Ancient Souls explores the presence of those who came before us.
Using family archives, landscapes, layered imagery, and experimental photographic processes, the series reflects on ancestral memory as something that exists beyond recorded history. The works are not portraits of specific individuals, but visual encounters with traces, echoes, and inherited memories.
The series emerged from a desire to understand how the lives of previous generations continue to shape the present. Their journeys, silences, resilience, and dreams remain embedded within us, often in ways we cannot fully explain.
The Dance of the Ancient Souls considers ancestry not as a fixed lineage, but as a living presence that continues to move through time, body, and memory.
My first photobook, Discovering My Colors, will be released in November 2026.
If you would like to receive updates on the book, exhibitions, and future projects, I warmly invite you to join my newsletter.
I look forward to sharing this journey with you.
