Mütter

For this project I've asked children to dress their mothers how they think they're beautiful, they were allowed to do the hairstyling, makeup and outfits for their mothers. I was interested in the difference between the self-image of the mothers and the ideal image their children project on them.

13 Kinder

This photoproject works with 13 orphans aged from 4-10. I worked with them for several months following their process of imagination and self reflection, I asked them to create a character they want to be, irrespective of their own destiny, gender or personality.

They used drawings for expression as it was important for me to work on a non-verbal level. Based on these drawings I helped them to create a costume and transform themselves into their imaginary ego.
