Winner of the IPFO/PHOTOVILLE 2025 Award in the Portrait category.
Jury member Dan Winters said: “The photographs are both powerful and sublime. These stunning self-portraits communicate both whimsy and self-reflection. Made in a land of magical solitude. I was happy that photography still has the ability to surprise me.”

In 2025 she received the Awagami Factory Prize at the 7th AWAGAMI International Miniature Print Exhibition (A.I.M.P.E.).

The Zurich-based artist Andreas Lutz remarked: “You are photographing your state of mind.” Sandro Kopp, renowned for his intimate portraiture, has been portraying her regularly for several years, creating new drawings each summer. The New York painter Daniel Maidman requested her photographs as reference material for his portraits. Her work has also been featured multiple times by the Instagram profile budapest_art_collector.
