34 Gallery Artist: First rain

 “Photography is one of the few things that really gives me joy. I can create the world how I see it, how I feel it. With editing the pictures, I can project my mood in it. So every photo, every edit is a reflection of how I felt in the very moment I did this. Writing helps to get my feelings off my chest but also to show others that they're not alone with their feelings. And I also try to turn perspectives from time to time. But mainly to show that it is okay how one feels. Combining these two elements, photography and writing, has helped me a lot to process my feelings. 

Art matters to me because it is a medium to express feelings, especially when you don't have the right words for it or when words alone aren't enough. And I really enjoy looking at the art of others. It not only gives me joy but also helps me to feel understood. Besides this I'm often just amazed by the talent of the artists - it's incredible what some of us are capable to do.”
