Chicago based photographer, Jobella Vongsomchith, has been practicing photography for seven years. Her art is driven by the urge to capture and portray the world as she sees it. Her work may also serve as a vehicle for encouraging self-validation and self-awareness. As her knowledge in photography expands, Jobella finds new ways to present an image, having it represent ideas more clearly by challenging her viewers to embrace our emotions and experiences, recognizing that they are an integral part of who we are. Through this lens, her art becomes a form of self-expression and a platform for fostering empathy and understanding.
