This project, with the working title ‘The Stranger I Am’ explores the imprecise and shifting nature of categories and boundaries. It tries to capture uncertain, in-between states. How do identities shift over time? How do our memories get altered over time? And how can we even depict what is unstable, constantly changing, unclear? 

These images are born out of feelings of alienation that have always been present in my life but have been exacerbated by a recent move abroad. To deal with the conflicting feelings this evokes in me I want to explore the dual nature of more fluid states, both as a possibility for openness and transformation as well as leading to abjection and dissociation. The domestic space plays an important role, because of its ambivalent nature (supposedly the place of warmth and safety) but also as a reflection of a state of mind.
