When I look at the world and life around me, I see a lot of suffering caused by people and can't help but take action. As an activist, documentary and autonomous photo (and video) grapher I capture what I believe is broken within our system and show how different social issues such as the housing shortage, climate crisis and social justice are completely interconnected. Within these topics, I focus on the individual to make it personal and more tangible. With my work, I want to inform, encourage, cheer or inspire people to make a change. To create more empathy and care for each other and our environment and start conversations that can end in action.
