“Just do what you love and spread it into the world”

I'm a Berlin-based photographer and multidisciplinary artist, born in the late '80s in the city I still call home. My path led from painting and writing to photography and 3D modeling, alongside a Master's degree in Computer Science. Finding confidence in my own voice took time, and becoming a mother was part of that shift. Today I see every medium as a different lens on the same things: my stories, dreams, thoughts and fears. Photography is where that voice is clearest. I rarely plan a shot. My images happen along the way: everyday moments that catch my eye, captured as they are. I'm drawn to the ordinary, because that's often where the strongest stories are. Visually, I lean toward a grainy, sleek look with muted colors, as if each image had been printed in a magazine and cut out again. (Maybe a '90s-kid thing.) Recurring themes surfaced over time, so I group my work into series. Some are complete; others keep growing.
