as a photographer I have been working within editorial, portrait, and documentary photography since 2018. My photographic practice explores personal questions of heritage and identity, as well as the perception of space and the ways people inhabit it. Another central aspect of my work is the relationship between humans and their environment — particularly the ways in which nature is embedded within global infrastructures. I am currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Photography Studies and Practice at Folkwang University of the Arts in Essen.
