Karen Song, a China-born and Melbourne-based photographer, has been honing her skill in portrait and fashion photography since 2017. In this series of ‘ Female Monologues’, Song explores the concept of the female gaze and self-representation in her unique intimate and tactility way and presents the spiritual awakening of one’s subjectivity through black and white photography. Her work is inspired by feminist theory and gender study. And aims to evoke female identity people to be empathetic, embracing, belonging, and nonjudgmental to their authentic self.
