Aphrodite Among Us
Photographed along the shoreline of Los Angeles, the figure moves between softness and strength, embodying beauty not as perfection but as something human, fleeting, and deeply felt.
Thesis Piece for graduation
This series reimagines Aphrodite, mother of Cupid, not as a distant myth or untouchable goddess, but as a living presence within the modern woman. She carries love, embodiment, and the enduring trace of feminine divinity—born from the sea yet rooted in lived human experience.
Inspired in part by John William Waterhouse’s Miranda - The Tempest (1916), the work reflects compassion and innocence in the presence of forces beyond control. At the water’s edge theres an emotional awakening while witnessing the vast unpredictable world.
The white bridal garment marks a threshold: a ritualized transition, a passage between identities, a moment of becoming rather than arrival.
Together, these elements form a single image—
a woman standing at the edge of the sea, of possibility, of transformation,
where vulnerability and quiet power exist at once,
gathered in the beginning of something new.
