A visual exploration
of our intimate worlds

Photography came into my life at the same time as humanitarian work during a one-year stay in Syria from 2010 to 2011. 

 

I bought my first digital compact camera when I arrived to Damascus, with an infinite desire to explore the city's bustling streets. Little did I know that less than a year after my arrival a civil war was going to break out and shatter my life to pieces. 

 

Ever since, photography has become a faithful companion. It taught me the value of transcending our most intimate feelings by transforming them into a visual language that helps connect people and their stories. It showed me the value of conscious observation and the healing power of art. 

 

More than 10 years later, I am working as a communications professional in an international humanitarian organisation that provides assistance to populations whose lives are impacted by war and violence.

​

This blog is an attempt to pay tribute to all the people who  -  day in and day out - persevere and continue to find beauty in what they do. It brings together my combined passions for photography, human diversity, mental health and beautiful design.

I hope you enjoy getting lost in its pages as much as I do!
