Raising a child in this rapidly changing world is hard, I struggle with it every day. We make a mess of this world, how do I let him grow into a person in the next era?!
Grow up and be.
To call myself a photographer or filmmaker on its own, is not enough. Image making contains so much more. It also is a responsibility to think about who you give space to, who you show and how. What do you give back, learning from that and evolving as I am. I am not afraid to make mistakes and am actively working on that. Fighting for equality in all layers of human beings. It is an inner search to become a better person for my surroundings, for the people around me and the world.
A lot of the research that I am doing has to do with learning how to be a good ally for people who are marginalised and how you can make images that question gender, even creating a new gaze. How can I use my privileges for the greater good, give my platform to others and rethink my own position so we can grow together into a future without inequality. That makes me question almost everything.
