who is she?

Jordan Morise (b. Sudan, 2003) is a photographer based in Melbourne, Australia. Specialising in portraiture, Morise’s works are rooted in nostalgia, identity, queerness, and culture while remaining fresh and contemporary.

Morise has exhibited at the RAW: Natural Born Artists, ‘IGNITE’, Showcase (Australia, 2019), and both The Museum of Australian Photography’s TOPshots (Australia, 2021), Being a Voice (Australia, 2022) exhibitions, amongst others. Born in Khartoum, Sudan, she is inspired by masculinity, femininity, heritage, and soulfulness. The artworks she creates deal with questions of originality, selfhood, mental health, and emotions through a colourful, queer, and complicated lens, blending both documentary and fine art approaches.

Through her photography and choreographic relations of people to things, time, light, and space, she “[turns] captured moments into lifetime memories.”
