She studied a Master of Fine Arts in photography at George Washington University, where she met various image professionals such as Ray K. Metzker, who supported her in her search for a language that was closer to metaphor than direct description. .

The way in which Hasbun approaches photography investigates identity, memory and migration. In this sense, she gets used to working conceptually on her own family archive - x - post facto & Si je meurs. Ella's recent series Pulse de ella brings us closer to the memory of the earth and the echoes of it on the visible surface of contemporary history. With her imagery, Hasbun proposes a new hermeneutical method with which to reinterpret and reconnect with geography, with belonging.

In 2020, she was part of the inaugural exhibition of Memoria, El Castigo and recently, in 2022, her photographs from the Pulse series were also included in the group exhibition América Anónima.
