"You are my Mother" is an exploration of the complex and intricate bond between a mother and child. Through quiet contemplation and meditation, this project invites the audience to delve into the emotional intimacy that exists between these two vital figures.
The work poses the question of how our relationship with our mothers shape us as adults and asks whether we are capable of accepting our mothers for who they truly are, rather than who we may wish them to be. This project is a tender and intimate reflection on the power of motherhood and the impact that it has on our lives, encouraging us to examine our own experiences and consider the role that our mothers have played in shaping the individuals we have become.

My work is rooted in a lifelong desire to explore interhuman connections and the shared experiences that shape our existence—love, loss, loneliness, and the search for meaning. Photography is both my question and my answer, a space where personal and collective truths unfold, inviting the viewer to find their own reflections in the quiet space between melancholy and beauty.
Drawn to vulnerability and unvarnished reality, I seek to capture the silent dialogues of the heart—moments of tenderness, longing, and the search for the Divine within the seemingly mundane. I gravitate toward portraits and documentary storytelling, finding the deepest resonance in long-term projects that allow me to immerse myself fully in the lives and stories of my subjects.

I’m not completely absent here—rather, I’m fully consumed by a whirlwind of real-life events, both good and bad. I’m trying to walk a middle path, seeking peace whenever possible, and grounding myself amidst uncertainty and chaos. My journey naturally turns inward—not as a form of escapism, but as a process of introspection, distilling lessons, values, and understanding from experience. From there, I bring them outward—expressing them through visual art and writing.

Yesterday, I received confirmation of which of my portraits will be exhibited at Photo London 2025.
I'm happy about this selection, especially since these were some of the earliest pieces in my Parenthood project—captured at a time when I was still uncertain about how expansive this series would eventually become.

Lately, I’ve been feeling quite withdrawn. I make a conscious effort to bring my more cheerful self to social media, keeping the quiet and reserved parts of me behind the scenes.
This morning, as I looked at this portrait, I felt a deep sense of how the world is both breathtakingly beautiful and unbearably ugly. It’s always been this way—this contrast—and yet we still struggle to navigate it, uncertain of how to show up in the face of it all.

Portrait of Lethu
19-year-old Lethu, like many young men growing up in townships, faces limited opportunities. Without access to higher education—a common reality due to financial struggles—he, like many others, is funneled into jobs with little room for growth. Waitressing, barista work, and other low-paying service jobs are his present reality, keeping him locked in a cycle where the dreams of a better future slowly fade away.

I photographed Damian, Clinton, and their daughter, Lexy, in early 2021, just as the tight grip of the pandemic was beginning to loosen and a sense of hope was returning. At the time, it felt like the world was opening up again. But looking back from 2025, I can’t help but see that moment through a different lens—one that now feels softer, kinder, almost sheltered compared to where we stand today. I never could have imagined that in just four years, same-sex families with children in so-called civilized countries would be facing serious concerns over shifting laws and public opinion.

The theme of loneliness has always been deeply present in my psyche. I seem to have an acute awareness of its presence in my own life and in the lives of those I encounter.
I’m drawn to understanding what it feels like to face this in later years, when the years behind stretch longer than those ahead. What regrets do people hold? What would they have done differently if they could turn back time? How do they cope with moments of loneliness? And how is it that some find solace in it, embracing loneliness as a final destination—the last relationship they need to nurture: the one with their own SELF.

Portrait of Claudia Lisias, a 46-year-old government worker in northern Namibia. I initially went to get a camping permit, but the moment I walked in, I forgot all about my task. All I could see was this compelling scene, and I felt an irresistible urge to photograph her. At first glance, she appeared strict, but after I explained my intentions honestly, much to my relief, she laughed and said, 'No problem.'
What followed was a heartwarming experience. We strolled through the office as Claudia gave me a full tour of the facilities, and of course, we ended up capturing some fascinating portraits together.

A few years ago, I had the privilege of meeting a remarkable woman who entrusted me with her deeply complex life story. I titled this portrait series “Life with a Clean Slate.”
A 43-year-old Maria (name changed), is a woman courageously rebuilding her life after serving a maximum sentence for killing her abusive husband.
One of the greatest challenges for someone like Maria is breaking free from the weight of her past—the suffocating narrative and the relentless burden of judgment that follows. Yet, moving forward requires acknowledging that, no matter how painful, shameful or horrific, the past is ultimately just a story—one that has already been written.

Sometimes—or dare I say always—when things don’t go as planned, it’s because something even better is waiting to happen.
When Lethu and I met, the perfectly overcast sky suddenly gave way to an unrelenting, merciless sun. None of the visuals I had pictured came to life—the sun was too harsh, Lethu couldn’t float as we had envisioned, and the lilies were gone. And yet, out of all that, something entirely unexpected and utterly magnificent emerged.
Creativity always has its own way of surprising us.

I’m visiting my grandma this morning.
Every day, for several hours, her 90-year-old boyfriend, Paul Herber, comes to see her. Despite his age, he still drives and maintains a small farm. Each morning, he brings her fresh milk from his only cow, and then they sit together and read.
My grandma just turned 96 and has poor vision, but doctors have refused to operate due to her advanced age. So, Paul reads to her every day—his favorite romance booklets. Having never married, he has a deep love for stories about love.
It’s heartwarming to sit here and witness this quiet, intimate ritual—the tenderness between two elderly people, sharing time in such a simple yet profound way.

Among the endless beauty and art Paris has to offer, I stumbled upon this gem—an absolute winner in my book. This place is a perfect example of how the right presentation and curation can elevate a good product to the next level.
The best art I saw? A BAKERY. See for yourself! (Though this video hardly does justice to how incredible this place truly is.)

Arrived in Paris today by train from Germany for a few days to attend NFT Paris!
The first person I met was the amazing @ambi, and in just a few hours, we managed to see half of Paris on foot, eat some eclairs, admire a classic Parisian street dumpster, and even crash a birthday party
Tomorrow, I’m heading to the @rodeodotclub event‼️
