ABOUT

‘Radical Imagination’ was the first major turning point in my career, a public exhibition in the heart of London that would shape everything that followed. As one of seven international women photographers selected for the show, I had the rare and humbling opportunity to see my work displayed in one of the busiest spaces in the city (King’s Cross) where millions of people would pass by over several months.

Curated under the theme 'Radical Imagination', the exhibition invited viewers to look again, to reimagine identity, reframe portraiture, and rethink representation. Each artist brought their own voice and visual language, and being part of that collective, in dialogue with the work of photographers I deeply admire, was both surreal and galvanising. It validated something in me at a time when I was still finding my footing as an image-maker.

My contribution explored themes of memory and identity through a deeply personal lens. I leaned into visual storytelling that felt intimate, layered, and emotionally resonant. I was asking: What does it mean to belong? How do we carry our stories, and how do they carry us? These questions shaped my process and guided the work I shared.

What made this exhibition so meaningful wasn’t just the scale or the visibility, although those were significant, but the access it created. This project opened doors I never imagined possible. It gave me confidence and connected me to a network of curators, editors, and collaborators who believed in my voice.

To have my work shown not in a white-walled gallery but in a living, breathing public space was really special. It allowed the images to meet people where they were, commuters, families, tourists, and for moments, become part of their day. There was something incredibly powerful about that kind of unfiltered interaction, about making art that’s not hidden or exclusive, but open and shared.

The project marked a shift, not only in my career, but in how I understood what photography could be. A way of imagining, connecting, and making space for new stories to be seen.
