"This is My Voice" - a project born from the belief that we, as human beings, are more alike than we realize. Despite nationality, religion, or language, we are all human beings—connected by rights, responsibilities, struggles, and strength. This project started when Afghan women were silenced from speaking outside their homes. It made me reflect: aren’t women silenced in some way or another everywhere? It was a call to action. I started photographing women to explore their untold stories. Over 3 months, 50 women joined this journey. We laughed, cried, and shared life experiences in endless meetings, creating bonds and exploring what it truly means to find your voice. Some of them became models for the very first time. It was empowering and unforgettable. The result? Giving women a voice in 2025! A collection of final 30 unique 1/1 portraits that capture beauty, strength, and humanity. Each piece speaks of resilience and the strength that women carry in their minds, not just in their bodies.

"This is My Voice" is not just art—it's a movement.

The journey doesn’t end here. I want to succeed with my art and keep raising awareness for those silenced. "This is My Voice" is just the beginning. Lastly, I want to thank everyone who has supported me. I created this project for women who cannot speak, but the process has given me my own voice, too. Let's amplify the voices of women everywhere.
