Being a metropolitan and culturally multifaceted city, Paris makes me grow more nuanced and challenges me to claim my own space.

I’m privileged being born in Sweden. It means safety through the social welfare system and I have a place where I belong.

What inspires you the most and where does your inspiration come from?

I search for metaphors in my everyday surrounding that reflects my inner imagery.

I am introspective and my work is an outlet for that.
