About

From a young age, Silvi has intently documented her life and experiences—her greatest inspirations being the fleeting moments shared with friends and loved ones. Silvi’s work explores loneliness, memory, and human connection. Her current work documents everyday life in New York City and her travels abroad through 35mm film.
