Biography
As a visual artist, I work with photography, film and text to tell a story.
My projects always have a personal basis and themes such as human relationships, freedom, memory and perception play a central role.
My working method is fluid and dependent on the subject matter. During the process of photographing, I regularly encounter both the possibilities and limitations of photography in depicting a subject. By including this process in my final work and thus making it visible to the viewer, I not only tell a story, but also openly explore the character and functioning of photography as a medium.
