Medium: Black and white photography printed on fine art photographic rag paper
"Mine is a story of trauma, pain, intensity, commitment and triumph. I endured open heart surgery and went on to become Ms Australia International 2022. I got there because I challenge society’s beliefs about beauty, and I dare others to love their imperfections. If I can help just one person through a similar event, give them hope and courage, my struggle has been worth it."
