She recieved a Master of Arts degree from the University of Art and Design in Helsinki (UIAH, now known as Aalto University) in 2000.

Sade Kahra's photographs question the sur-reality of events and seek to detect the physical and mental characteristics of the human being. In her photographs, Sade Kahra analyses the consequences and aims to visualise the state of mind, influenced by the space and the culture, of a well-defined territory.

I want to create a series of portraits to celebrate the human mortality, and through that, the strength of life she possesses. Man and woman are both vulnerable and strong. The bruises and marks we get through life are trofées of a life fully lived. UV photography makes some of those marks visible to the human eye, so if you have a bruise, scar or sun burnt spot, I would like you to pose with that life trofé of yours. Welcome to the Chicago Bruise Festival!
