She graduated from the London College of Fashion in fashion media and communication. She is known for her fantastical style, somewhere between dream and reality. ​ Her photographs delicately capture a world that seems as nebulous as a dream, interwoven with her own view of life and death. In her photographs, various elements that seem to be opposites, such as lightness and darkness, fragility and strength, coexist, and the viewer is naturally led to a consciousness of death and life.
