Her Voice
“Her Voice” is a visual exploration of feminism, bodily autonomy, and women's rights in today's world. Through a series of nine printed photographs, the project captures both personal and political dimensions of womanhood — moments of resistance, resilience, and reclamation. The exhibition becomes a living conversation: as a video projection spills across the images and onto the viewers themselves, the lines blur between subject and spectator. This interplay of still and moving imagery invites reflection on power, identity, and presence — not only in the lives of the women depicted, but within each of us.
