I’m pleased to share that I’ve been selected as a finalist in the Lucie Foundation’s 2025 Hidden Beauty Open Call. The initiative highlights photographic works that explore subtle, layered narratives of beauty, fragility, and human connection—an ongoing focus in my practice.
The jury for this year’s open call included four distinguished voices in the world of photography and visual storytelling:
-
Ami Vitale – National Geographic photographer, filmmaker, and founder of Vital Impacts
-
Sarah Leen – Former Director of Photography at National Geographic and Co-Founder of the Visual Thinking Collective
-
Cat Jimenez – Founder of the upcoming DALA Photo Festival and former Executive Director of the Lucie Foundation
-
Lynn Johnson – Renowned photojournalist and educator, known for her work in National Geographic, LIFE, and Sports Illustrated
To be recognized by such a remarkable and influential panel is deeply meaningful. My submission reflects my continued interest in the dialogue between the human body and the natural world—fragile yet resilient, ephemeral yet eternal.
