In the series Place of Their Own, the artist portrays women in front of their backyard gardens—spaces that have been quietly transformed through daily effort, care, and persistence. What may appear idyllic at first glance is, in fact, the result of ongoing labor that is often unnoticed yet deeply intentional.
Through her portraits and attention to detail, the artist reveals the intimacy of these spaces and the quiet devotion behind them. The camera lingers on not only faces but also gestures, textures, and traces of work, capturing the small acts that make a garden thrive. These images acknowledge the quiet heroism of the everyday. Using natural light and an observational approach, the artist creates a space where care is visible—not staged or idealized, but seen from within.
