My Body, Your Trash. is a photographic series that explores the intersection of femininity and disposability.

Shot on 35mm film, the work juxtaposes portraits of my body with images of discarded materials. These fragmented landscapes become a metaphor for the ways women’s bodies are consumed, used for momentary pleasure, then abandoned.

the female body is often reduced to function—desired-consumed then discarded when it no longer serves.

These studies questions value, visibility, and survival.

What happens when the body is no longer of service?
