ABOUT THE BOOK

In recent years, I have wandered through Greece, Belgium, Albania, Germany, North Macedonia, the Netherlands, Moldova, Transnistria, Ukraine, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Romania and Georgia. In the midst of the everyday, I stumbled upon hidden moments of humanity and poetry. I never set out with a particular theme. The world had fractured, and I realised it would be best to just embrace its complexities.

My photographic journey evolved organically. The images led me down winding paths into contemporary Europe. And while observing I tried to give it meaning as history rushed forward at full speed.
