House of Becoming
A visual journey through transformation. Across three acts, Serenity, Bloom, and Ascension, a woman moves from stillness and self-discovery toward confidence, growth, and self-actualization.
House of Becoming is a personal, fine art project. While I continue on honing in my craft as a fashion photographer, I wanted to weave in narrative. For me, this story is personal, but I am also glad that art as a medium can affect people in different ways. It was extremely satisfying to hear from collaborators and viewers about how the story touched them.
