Becoming Kim Kardashian is a critical response to the algorithmic censorship and commodification of the female body on social media. This project was born from a personal encounter on the Chinese platform RedNote, where an image I shared from the feminist classic Our Bodies,Ourselves-was removed for “violating communitu guidelines,” despite being pixelated. The image depicted a woman using a flashlight and mirror to explore her body - an act of self-knowledge and empowerment.
Moments later, I was algorithmically served a photo of Kim Kardashian in a nearly identical pose- legs spread, overtly sexualized, yet unflagged and widely promoted. This contradiction lies at the heart of the work: why is a woman learning about her own body deemed inappropriate, while her commodified likeness is algorithmically celebrated?
Through visual juxtaposition, digital intervention, and platform analysis, this project exposes the patriarchal logic embedded in social media algorithms- where female empowerment is censored, and objectification is rewarded.

Becoming Kim Kardashian is not about the celebrity herself, but about the archetype she has come to represent: a hyper-feminized, hyper-visible body curated for consumption. This work challenges audiences to reflect on how platforms shape our understanding of gender, bisibility, and agency in the digital age.

First exhibited in Beijing in 2019, this project is both a personal reflection and a tribute to those surviving on the edges of history.
2017
Despite holding a journalist visa, I faced numerous checkpoints and had to obtain local permits before being allowed to photograph. The journey began in Beirut, crossing into Damascus by bus, and unfolded across landscapes of ruin and resilience. These images were captured over eleven intense days—each frame tied to moments of doubt, adrenaline, and quiet confrontation with mortality.
What started as a dream of becoming a war photographer became, unexpectedly, a process of self-reckoning. In the face of destruction, I began to question the romanticism and fragility of my own emotions. This project is not only a visual document of Syria during conflict, but also a personal narrative—a young woman’s gaze into the shadows of war and into herself.
This work was first exhibited at Ying Gallery in Beijing in 2018, alongside personal journals, video footage, and archival material brought back from Syria.
2016
This series was created during the Conflict Photography Workshop held in Spain in 2016. The intensive program simulated real-life war zone scenarios to train journalists and photographers in conflict reporting. It was my first direct exposure to the physical and psychological demands of working in hostile environments. While these images are part of a training experience, they reflect my early exploration of visual responsibility, ethical awareness, and the emotional complexities of documenting human conflict.
2012
This series was created during my time as a student in the Photojournalism and Documentary Photography program at London College of Communication,2012 (LCC), University of the Arts London. While these early works may appear raw and unrefined, they mark an important stage in my growth as a photographer—where I first began to explore visual storytelling, identity, and social engagement through the lens. Each image is a reflection of experimentation, curiosity, and a desire to understand the world around me.
