Photographer and activist Delphine Diallo (@delphinediallo) has been unpacking her identity her entire life. Born in Paris to a French mother and Senegalese father, she now lives in Brooklyn, New York. “I have always been fascinated by improving my understanding of consciousness through the years,” says Delphine. “All my work is about study.” And her self-portraiture is central to that study.
“Self-portrait is the door where your spirit reveals itself in different forms: the eyes, the attitude, the complexity of the person can be discovered through self-portraiture,” she says. In her work, she feels called to frame herself and her subjects as the protagonist of her own story. “It’s my duty to empower women to understand that they are the subject of their lives,” says Delphine. “As an artist, I want to express the shared connection between all women.”
