Ani-Human series

She is known for her Ani-Human series of portraits, where she combines orchestrates single captures and composite images of wild animals with humans in body paint together without a spatial barrier.

The series portrays the certainty that a tranquil co-inhabitance can exist, and therefore the possibility that it could propagate. She turns her human subjects into representations of animals such as Baboons, zebras, lions, cheetahs, monkeys using body paint and makeup. [18] It had received numerous international awards in 2011.
