Her work revolves around the themes of identity, history and dreams. Her projects have been part of group shows at the Goethe Institute, Addis Foto Fest and UPPA, among others. Her project, Untitled, explores a harsh childhood memory and its plausible relation to the person she is today. ‘I began with the thought that I was fighting my own battle’ — she comments in her project statement — ‘but I came to realize that through my story I was telling the story of women who daily walk the road I could have walked.’
