Mygration
12.12.2019
This new body of work explores notions behind human migration and the connections we all have to it.

As the child of a foreigner, I was taught about those subtle differences from […]
My press

How can I preserve our moments in time, moments in our time? Can I capture our sky today? Can I press your skin between my fingers remembering the colour if never the texture?
