I try to fill gender gaps in culture through my work. I try to capture and create images and visuals of things that are missing form literature and other medium like films, songs, theater and so on. As such I try to portray women in ways in which women are usually not portrayed. I also love doing travel documentary, gender and public space, culture, weddings.
