My interest began at a young age on primary school tours, with this fear of myself as a hermit and a search for a tool that would put me in a position to have to be out engaging with the world everyday. Then it became this portal to and catalyst for reckoning with the other and how the camera can be used to breaking down barriers between the photographer, subject and viewer and mostly because I am
crazy for gadgets. Now that the image has become devalued as a truth-revealing mechanism, it is free to own its subjectivity and becomes an ideal medium to navigate ideas around humanity, connection, identity, memory, presence, experience and intimacy. I love the fact that pictures capture the sweetest moments and sometimes bitter ones too. ... Pictures can manifest emotions that words cannot. Photographs allow me to express emotions that I might not be able to express verbally. I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a humble local young lady who use my eyes to freeze moments in time. I have the equipment but I try to remain original. I have great respect for photographers who mastered the art especially experiencing each emotion of the endless journey. If I should go on early retirement, I will further my training in this hobby with so much zest and respect. I shoot because if I don’t, I don’t know who will. Activism is seen as a dirty word. I shoot because I find peace in being especially active, and being a vigorous advocate for a cause.
