In summer 2025, I set out to give myself a gift: a journey on the road. I felt the need to drive alone, with nothing but my music and cameras, to meet new faces, to wander through unfamiliar places. I was craving adventure!
I longed to capture portraits that felt narrative in settings that could whisper something of the person within them.
So I reached out to some people, asking them to guide me into their worlds, to share their stories. I placed my trust in them without knowing what awaited me, choosing instead to let go, to surrender any need for control.
Along the way, I recorded fragments of the journey without a clear vision of what they might become. But once home, as I watched those moments again, I knew I wanted to weave them into a film, alongside the photographs.
That film became Northwards.
What remains with me, beyond the images themselves, are the deep and lasting connections with the extraordinary souls I was fortunate enough to meet.
They welcomed me into their homes, fed me, entrusted me with their stories, sometimes heavy with pain, always rich with humanity.
Each of them understood what I was looking for and offered their wholehearted enthusiasm to become part of this journey.
I will carry their generosity and warmth with me forever.
