Trust Me is a photographic series developed between 2021 and 2025 across Paris, Shanghai, and New York — three cities where identity and social dynamics intersect in unsettling ways.
Working with women I met in each city, I staged scenes of ambiguous gestures, subtle resistance, and quiet discomfort. These carefully constructed images function as independent visual fables, capturing moments when trust, control, and intimacy shift beneath the surface.
As I moved between cultural contexts, I became increasingly attentive to what remains unsaid — the invisible mechanics of complicity, mistrust, and silent power. The same gestures — a glance, a touch, a posture — may shift in meaning across borders, yet often reveal the same underlying tensions.
At its core, Trust Me invites reflection on what it means to be a woman today — and opens a space for dialogue on the roles we assume, the doubts we carry, and the silent negotiations that shape our relationships.
It is not a fixed body of work tied to one place, but an ongoing exploration of emotional geographies — how we navigate closeness, suspicion, and shifting power in a fractured world.
