If the act of photography emerges from the dark intimacy of thought, why does the idea of a blind photographer seem paradoxical?


My Journey With Blindness reflects on twenty years of living with blindness and my process of experiencing it. The series develops a poetic rhythm through photographs that represent different stages of sight loss—from childhood memories and early life events shaped by vision to the shifting perceptions and ways I now interact with reality.
