Emancipated but Not Free, delves into the complex realities of womanhood, particularly the notions of freedom, autonomy, and restraint. This series, with its evocative title, captures the tension between external liberation and internal entrapment, portraying the paradoxical journey of women navigating spaces of independence while still tethered by societal,
cultural, or personal constraints. The open, endless landscapes evoke boundless movement, yet the meticulously tangled hair signifies the limitations of freedom. While hair traditionally symbolises autonomy,
beauty, and identity, in this series it becomes a symbol of both liberation and confinement.
