So happy to have recieved a one-year working grant from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee, which allows me to concentrate on my ongoing projects.
So incredibly honored that one of my photos from my lates book Mayfly have been shortlisted in the Sony World Photography Awards.

So many interesting meetings with people from different generations from my recent journey to Greenland. The results will end up in a book and the trip was made thanks to a travel grant from the Swedish Arts Grants Committee.
I also met several young people that I followed in their everyday lives. The Corona crisis escalated in the very beginning of my trip and I had to work extreamly hard to recieve the material that I needed. Panic broke out in the small community, and I was seen as a source of infection coming from outside. An epidemic in the small village would have devastating consequences, so I could understand their concern.

I recently returned from eastern Congo where I visited the Panzi Hospital and the transit accommodation Maison Dorcas among others. The sexual violence in DR Congo is brutal, massive and affects everyone regardless off age. I met several women who told me about the horrific abuses they suffered. But still, they had hope and faith for the future. Maison Dorcas is a fantastic place where the women can heal and get different skills to become subsistence. Neema Iruki Joice, 20 years today lives at Maison Dorcas. When she arrived, she was deeply depressed. Today she is a strong, charismatic woman with bright thoughts of the future. When she returns back home she will start her own sewing buisness.
