Artist statement
I am a 21-year-old photography student at Willem de Kooning Academy, deeply inspired by the concept of aesthetic justice—the idea that beauty can foster empathy, connection, and a sense of shared humanity. I believe art holds the power to shift focus beyond the ego, highlighting our interconnectedness and driving the pursuit of collective justice.
Through experimental and surrealist photographic methods, I explore the unexpected and unseen that emerges during the photographic process. My work makes the invisible and overlooked visible, confronting denied topics within society. By challenging conventional beliefs about reality and truth, I invite viewers to question the constructs they often take for granted. For me, truth is not absolute but a shared construct, and my photography serves as both a reflection and a reinterpretation of the world—both external and internal.
Born in 2003, in Utrecht, The Netherlands, I study Photography (Fine Art) at Willem de Kooning Academy. My work has been exhibited at Backlight Photo Festival Finland and various places in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. My work varies from fine art, portrait, and fashion to conceptual and alternative image-making. Besides that, I am also experienced in event, wedding, pregnancy, and other commercial photography. No photoshop or AI has been used in any photographs.
