Camels and people stand and scroll around in the desert under pale sky.
Slightly difference in scales of camels depending on her distance and the positions of subjects are balanced exquisitely and her photography filled with free and natural feeling throughout all images.

Her creation of photography is like a trip to pursue some logics of the reality consisted of accumulated accidents.
