Astronauts in Tin is part of a photographic series exploring the world of cosplay and its surreal tension between fiction and reality regarding identity - revealing how characterism functions as both a form of escapism and a tool for self-expression. The project reflects on how identity is constructed and constrained within society, and how cosplay acts as a form of resistance against normative structures. By reclaiming space and bending the boundaries of so proclaimed adulthood, it exposes the line between reality and the surreal - showing that both are, ultimately, conceptual.

This project is follows my mother’s past as a former nun, tracing her life across Europe through her diaries. It’s a personal and political archaeology of womanhood, memory, and identity - engaging with my mothers hidden identity to understand my own.

This photograph is part of Legs, a series made in Ukraine that reflects on the ethics of looking at war. In images of conflict, the body is often fragmented - turned into symbol, gesture, or wound. The series questions how images of conflict can aestheticize suffering and, in doing so, distance viewers from the human reality they depict.

A photograph in the corner of the house showed a little girl wearing two blue bows. I asked Wiljo, the woman I helped maintain the house, about it. It was her, she told me, sixty years ago. 
Wiljo was 75 years old. She remembered the bows and described herself as beautiful in them. Knowing that I am a photographer, we decided to recreate the portrait.
