November 2020
 Bosnia & Herzegovina Banja Luka I'm very often talking about mental health in my artworks, in a creative and conceptual way because there is so much stigma around it and I will never stop talking about it. It's hard to explain how it feels, how it looks like and that reaching for help is not a shame, it can sav... |
 France Paris IN PIECES
On a cold January night, I received a call from a friend of mine who reached to me with a special request. " I need you to photograph me," she said, " I need you to photograph my broken heart". In a trembling voice, she then went on sharing her entire story. As I was car... |

 United Kingdom London My work is often drawn from experiences in my own life. I define my personality as hypersensitive, meaning I am often on high alert with my surroundings. This is both a blessing as well as a disadvantage. Whilst I tend to notice the beauty in the mundane, my mind can very quickly become ov... |
 United States of America St. Charles VEILS OF MELANCHOLY
We hide so much from the world. Sometimes we just want to disappear. And people will let us. We don't speak up for ourselves. We don't go places. We sit quietly in a meeting or in the classroom.
But then what happens? Our se... |
