35mm b&w film
Modern Muse is a representation of my relationship with my partner Adi, and how she taught me to be free in my pursuit of artistic expression. Through our connection, I learned how to create from a place of love and excitement, rather than from sadness and restriction -- which is how I made most of my art before I met her. This portrait is an intimate glimpse into the beginning days of our relationship when I was only just learning how to break-free from my feelings of shame, and embrace my true identity.
