Bonjour! I’m currently living in Paris on a France Artist Visa (Talent Passport) — a rare and special opportunity granted to artists with a strong creative vision and body of work.

This visa allows me to live and work in France to develop my artistic practice, but like many creative journeys, it comes with high upfront costs and uncertainty.

I arrived on 8th April and am in the early stages of settling in: finding work, navigating administrative paperwork, and paying visa-related fees, all while continuing to produce meaningful artistic projects. I’m currently raising funds to support both my transition here and the creation of a new art exhibit — a deeply personal and collaborative analogue photography series I’ve been dreaming of for years.

If you believe in supporting independent artists, storytelling through visual art, and keeping analogue photography alive in a digital age, your donation will go directly toward:

• Visa, legal, and living costs in Paris during my first few months

• Film, development, and production costs for the upcoming exhibit

• Collaboration with stylists, models, and local creatives

• Studio space, printing, and eventual gallery exhibition

Even a small contribution makes a difference and helps me stay focused on building work that speaks to beauty, connection, and timeless craftsmanship.

If you’ve followed my work or just want to support artists who take bold leaps — merci.

With gratitude,
Haya
