Make me your country 

This project explores the complexities of love, identity, and cultural exchange through the lens of an intercultural relationship. It examines the experiences of two individuals from different backgrounds as they attempt to bridge their differences while navigating the nuances of connection, miscommunication, and understanding.

In this context, love is both a unifying force and a revealing one, exposing the ways in which cultural identity shapes who we are and how we relate to others.

Through photography, the work captures moments of tenderness and tension, illustrating the beauty and challenges of embracing another’s world. It questions whether love alone is enough to overcome cultural divides or if certain differences remain unspoken yet ever-present. By exploring these themes, Make Me Your Country reflects on the reality of modern relationships shaped by globalisation, migration, and the deep-rooted ties to where we come from.
