In Her Own Words
"Coming from a background of Sri Lankan, Cuban, and Scottish roots, I’ve learned to find beauty in the nuances and the 'in-between' spaces of life. I view the lens as a medium for philosophy, a way to explore identity and challenge the boundaries of how we perceive culture and heritage. My work is rooted in intentionality and gratitude, always aiming to create something that feels less like a simple image and more like a contribution to a larger, more inclusive conversation."
