Digital mosaic from my "Aphrodites" series, part of my "Endless Summer" exhibition
Throughout history, women have shaped art, science, and ideas, not always in the spotlight but as the invisible force pushing movements forward. In the same way that a mosaic is made of thousands of tiny, unseen details that form a grand image, women’s contributions have built the world we live in—piece by piece. They break barriers, lead movements, paint futures, and compose new realities.
I had a chance to capture the essence of some powerful women—mosaic portraits that don’t just depict but honor, celebrate, and amplify their impact.
These are the women who created history, shaped culture, and redefined possibility, the women whose presence has changed how we think, create, lead, and dream.

The Woman Who Gave Me The World
At the heart of every story of strength, resilience, and inspiration is the first woman who shaped our world—our mothers. Behind every portrait of a leader, artist, scientist, or changemaker stands a mother who nurtured, encouraged, and empowered.
