About the Artwork

This ongoing photographic project explores women’s relationship with nature and the search for belonging within the natural world. Through self-portraits and portraits, figures wear sculptural forms made from natural materials, blending body and landscape. The work considers how environment shapes identity, transformation, and connection. By merging with nature, I blur the boundary between self and surroundings, presenting the landscape as a space of emotional and spiritual resonance. At the same time, the project reflects on ecological fragility, highlighting the interdependence between humans and nature, and expressing a continued search for belonging, care, and unity with the living world.
