ARTISTS STATEMENT
“INNER VOICE”
Women have untold words, secrets, feelings, and emotions. But their rights have been ignored all
over the world in different ways. Through my photographic series, I reveal their true selves, their
emotions, and inner voices.

Women are sensitive, caring, and beautiful on the inside, so I used flowers in some of my album’s
photo. My work was inspired by Frida Kahlo (a Mexican painter) who painted self-portraits of herself
with flowers and nature, showing her identity through her artwork.

The project was a challenge itself, with my first idea was taking photos from different models to show
that everyone is different. But Melbourne’s lockdown limited me to do so. Instead, I completed the
photoshoots with myself and my daughter as the models.

I asked different women what their inner voice was and demonstrated these in my portraiture.
