Saudi
Arabia
WHERE IT ALL BEGAN
This is where my journey with photography truly started. I was sixteen, living in Jeddah, and completely captivated by the strange, quiet magic of film cameras. They felt like time machines — mechanical, imperfect, and full of mystery. Film spoke to my slow, intentional nature. I had to trust my eye, wait to see the results, and live with the unknown. These photographs capture that early wonder — not just of a place, but of a new way of seeing.
MOROCCO
FRieNDS ANd FAMILY
I spent a summer in Morocco, living with an Amazigh community. It wasn’t volunteering in the traditional sense — it felt more like a cultural exchange. I helped tutor children, joined in housework, and worked on the farm. What struck me most was how much we shared — a native language, threads of culture — and yet how differently we lived.
Along the way, I met incredible people — friends who, even though we don’t talk much anymore, still hold a special place in my heart. They enriched the experience in ways I still struggle to put into words.
I carried my film camera everywhere, trying to capture those quiet, in-between moments. This collection remains one of my most cherished — a record of a place, a time, and the beginning of my love for telling stories through film photography.
Tanzania
A sense of wonder
Tanzania has always felt like a place of endless discovery. Across multiple trips, I found myself drawn to its vast landscapes, rich wildlife, and the warmth of the people we met along the way. There’s a sense of belonging I feel in Africa — not quite as a local, but as a welcomed outsider. That perspective shaped the way I saw, felt, and photographed.
In Tanzania, I experienced hospitality like nowhere else. At times I was part of something, at other times just observing — and that balance found its way into my photography. This body of work blends documentary moments with quiet, solitary wanderings. Each frame holds a fragment of wonder, a feeling that there’s always more to see, more to learn, more to feel.
This section is about curiosity — about seeing the world with open eyes and a camera in hand, chasing moments that speak louder than words.
Australia
here we go again
Sydney came with a lot of change. A new city, a new rhythm, and the weight of architecture school pulling most of my focus. Somewhere along the way, photography slipped into the background. It was still there, but quieter — like a child peeking out from behind a curtain, unsure whether to step forward or stay hidden.
My work from this time feels uncertain, and maybe that’s okay. It reflects a period of adjusting, of growing up, of learning how to exist in a place that didn’t quite feel like mine yet. The photos I did take are scattered, but they hold something real — a kind of searching, a softness, a need to still see beauty even when I didn’t know what I was looking for.
This chapter isn’t about clarity — it’s about drifting, becoming, and finding comfort in that in-between space.
