Reflections of Her explores the diverse experiences of women, examining how societal expectations, upbringing, and identity shape their lives. Through a series of illustrated portraits, including a self-portrait, I aim to capture the nuances of each subject’s personal history, offering a visual dialogue about gender, culture, and identity. Each piece is the result of an intimate collaboration, where interviews and shared experiences inform my artistic decisions, allowing for an authentic representation of each woman’s story.

A recurring motif in this series is flowers, each portrait incorporates the subject’s favorite flower as a symbolic extension of their identity. Flowers, often associated with femininity, growth, and resilience, provide a unifying visual thread while also highlighting the individuality of each person. Whether subtly woven into the composition or prominently featured, these floral elements serve as metaphors for personal strength, beauty, and transformation.

Ultimately, I want my audience to engage with these portraits not just as images, but as conversations. I hope viewers see themselves reflected in these stories and feel compelled to question how societal structures shape our understanding of gender and identity. This series is both a personal and collective exploration, celebrating the complexity of womanhood and the power of visual storytelling to foster empathy and change.
