Jasmine & Gasoline
Jasmine & Gasoline reimagines the cyclical pattern of descent and return in the myth of Persephone. This time, she breaks free. These are her notes from paradise, tracing her escape from emotional underworlds toward a deeper sense of home within herself.
Photographed along coastlines and urban edges, the series portrays a charged reunion with the natural world. Water, light, and touch become her guides. A faint trace of pomegranate lingers, the old world becoming the threshold into the new. A hand on her own skin, learning it again. A figure entering the sea crosses into the body she now inhabits.
Moving between documentary, self-portrait, and landscape, the photographs slip between clarity and abstraction as identity does. The sea is both destination and threshold, a place where something long buried resurfaces. Home, here, is not a fixed location but an interior state, a self reclaimed beyond the cycles that once defined her. The camera becomes a site of reawakening, rehearsing a quiet utopia of rest, renewal, and internal bloom.

Stone and metal are printed on aluminum, sharpening their own edges. The landscapes that build the world of the series, flowers and industrial edges giving way to older earthen forms, are printed on wood. Each piece arrives as if recovered from a future shaped by feminine autonomy and rest.
