ARTiST HIGHLIGHT

Every month we shout out an Artist and showcase their work. This month we are celebrating Rachel Varma, an Artist and member of the (Un)Censored. 2024 Women's Creative Campaign Team.

"I am Rachel Varma, an 18 year old Photographer from South East London with a passion for storytelling and capturing the raw and profound moments within our human condition, the moments that people tend to overlook or pass by without reflection. Through my Art I aim to show the raw beauty within different realities, highlight injustice and bring about change and contemplation. I hope my Art breeds a desire to dig deeper than what meets the eye."

To see more of Rachel's work, head to her Instagram or get in touch by emailing her at rachelvarma126@gmail.com.
