The Other Battlefields
“The Other Battlefields” explores the profound imprint of war on Ukrainian youth, offering a glimpse into what it means to grow up and live in a country at war, more than three years after the Russian invasion. The years of youth are normally synonymous with widening horizons, the weaving of friendships, and the promise of […]
AN ENDLESS WAR
For more than 30 years, the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC) has been embroiled in endless conflict despite the largest UN mission in the world and the billions injected by donors. The conflict has changed, but has not gone away. It has become more amorphous and fragmented. For example, there were around ten armed groups […]
Las Fuegas: Women Fire Brigades of Córdoba’s Mountains
A fire serpent crosses the Córdoba mountains each year, devastating the native forest: 750 thousand hectares have burned in the last decade.

After the devastating fires of 2020, […]
Extraction

I Am You
Social inequality My project “I Am You” is a paean to people all around Asia who battle every day, dealing with circumstances I fear might have defeated me – had I been in their shoes.

Passengers
Migration, a historical phenomenon embedded in human nature, has in recent decades become one of the main centres of political and social debate in the world. A debate that focuses on the interests and needs of the receiving societies, while it criminalizes the figure of the migrant, who, loaded with stereotypes and misinformation, is turned […]
Mileyda’s Cancer surgery
Mileyda Isabella Pérez Díaz, a 5-year-old girl from the remote village of El Zarzal in San Juan, Intibucá, Honduras, endured over a year of pain from a persistent facial abscess. Despite undergoing two surgeries at her local hospital, the underlying cause was never properly diagnosed or treated. Her family, living in deep poverty, watched helplessly […]
Thirteen Hours to Fall
Thirteen Hours to Fall examines the climate crisis through investigations of contemporary and future ghost forests on the mid-Atlantic coast. Ghost forests, large areas of dead and dying trees, are visible manifestations of intruding salt water. In this project, I consider how colonial capitalists, the ensuing extraction economy, and rising sea levels have dramatically changed […]
