Uniforms & Your Home

I will present two photography projects created during a two-year journey through Asia and Australia between 2023 and 2025.

The Series Uniforms is a collection of portraits of groups of people dressed identically whom I happened to come across. Through these images, I explore—via clothing—the bonds that unite individuals, whether social, cultural, professional, or familial.

At the same time, the series Your Home brings together self-portraits taken in hotel rooms and other temporary spaces where I stayed during my journey. By staging my own body in these temporary spaces, I explore the relationship to intimacy, displacement, and the appropriation of anonymous places. These images form a visual diary, bearing witness to a state of transition.
