I am many things. Calm and present, curious, restless, playful and thoughtful. Rather introvert. I make mostly lens based visual/media/installation art, I write, sometimes co-direct/edit feminist erotica and I feel life with my notebook usually somewhere near me.

I'm excited by honesty, connecting, creativity, vulnerability and freedom. I have my feet on the ground but at the same time in some way I think that everything is possible.

My long term project is to unlearn some societys norms, expectations and categories about things and rather teach myself: especially what it comes to love, relationship anarchy, 'good life', idea of success, etc. I'm also poly. My close beings/family mean a lot to me, but number 1 is my own happiness and wellbeing.

I'm trying to find a balance between outside worlds expectations and my inner truth or ideal way of being.
