The life-changing experience of moving from California to Germany in my teens sparked a fascination with cultures and languages and provided opportunities for early experiences with photography. I am particularly moved by themes related to culture and identity, resilience, connection and belonging. My photographic vision is deeply rooted in my own emotional experience of interacting with different cultures, languages and individuals, both personally and in my work as a translator and psychotherapist. In my street photographs I want to show this relationship between people and their community and culture, and to capture the vibrancy and passion, the beauty and humanity with which the streets are so alive.
