Personal Work I WANT THIS HOUSE TO BE HAUNTED
2026
I WANT THIS HOUSE TO BE HAUNTED explores the grief I experienced in my childhood home: the place where I grew up, which I had to leave following my parents' divorce and which I inherited after my father's sudden death.
Drawing from the memory of my parents' divorce (2001) and the grief over the loss of my father (2024), I spent four years creating a new house through my work, in which I used photography to open up new spaces for mourning, reflection and remembering. They allow me to enter the emotional world of past and present circumstances in order to narrate, both literally and associatively, about loss and memory as the foundation of our identity.

Since 2022, I have been photographing a young group of friends who value an experimental approach to fashion. The work is a collaborative documentary project between Milan, Laura, Yusuf, Luna, Matin, Lola, Zoe and myself as the photographer. My view of them collides with their view of themselves and their clothing plays a central role in this: it is an expression, armour and statement. I hope to document their transforming identities through the years and see how their ways of expressing themselves in front of my camera changes as they grow older.
