SUPERSYMMETRY

Just how far is forever?

Paris / France · 2021

KINGS OF SOMETHING

How casually we exist. Kings of the smallest corner of the universe.

Montreal / Canada · 2020

STRUGGLE TO SURRENDER

I've given up and I've given in more times than I care to admit, but I’ve always struggled to surrender to a life where every moment is just a layover to the next and the destination but a tale.

Cotopaxi / Ecuador · 2012

BROTHERS

They could hardly be more different, and hardly more similar.

Egernsund / Denmark · 2018

LUCID DREAM

If only we were awake while living our dream life.

Montreal / Canada · 2019

CANDY

World, give us candy, give us city, shower our aspirations of more with more aspirations, let us play a little longer, hide and seek in the dark, our shadows ripping the night’s wrapper wide open.

Seoul / South Korea · 2016

SEA IN ME

And looking down onto the Aegean floor, I saw that the sea I was in, was also the sea in me. Seasaw.

Samos / Greece · 2021

SUNFLOWER CEMETERY

NRW / Germany · 2020

REMOTE EMBRACE

Two creatures locking eyes, tied together by a remote embrace to share an uncanny, unspoken notion, as life recognizes life.

Sønderborg / Denmark · 2018

MIND-BOUND

Onwards inwards.

Table Mountain, Cape Town / South Africa · 2017

BABEL

Higher, taller, the boxes smaller – our vertical faith our horizontal fate.

Cologne / Germany · 2021

LONG STORY SHORT

It’s hard to tell where a non-fictional plot starts and ends, but I want to say that this one started with a perplexed elephant in Botswana, continued with a burning car in the Namib desert, and ended with a waterfall wedding in Zimbabwe, and everything that happened before and after was a different story.

Chimanimani / Zimbabwe · 2017

GALAXY TO ME

Brake light outside, caught in the fly screen, soaked in rain, an infrared heat-ball galaxy to me, nothing less.

Montreal / Canada · 2020

young wisdom, pure wisdom
