02 Boys Ongoing portrait series of young men across the UK. The body’s exhaustion is used as a method to establish honesty, as the body can no longer be controlled and responds naturally to its state of tiredness. Exhaustion removes the desire to pose, impress, or ‘be someone’, allowing the photographs to capture male intimacy and explore what it means to be masculine - or, more precisely, to be a boy.
03 Wiljo A photograph in the coprner of the house showed a little girl wearing two blue bows. I asked Wiljo about it. It was her, she told me, about 50 years ago. She described herself as beautiful. Knowing that I am a photographer, we decided to recreate the portrait.
04 Astronauts in Tin A series following the niche of adult astronaut cosplay. For these adults, cosplay is freedom: a way to make room for imagination, self-definition, and change. In the chrome suit, the fantasy of becoming an astronaut is never separate from reality. Its surface reflects asking reflecting on what identity and reality even is, and primarily how both seem to blend.
06 Legs This photograph is part of Legs, a series made in Ukraine that explores how we view images of war. By depicting the human body in fragments, conflict photography can reduce individuals to symbols of violence or injury. The series asks how this can distance us from suffering and obscure the humanity of those represented.
