My photography exists in the space between memory, displacement, and the search for belonging. It speaks to a longing for a part of myself that words cannot fully describe—an essence rooted in my heritage and shaped by the journey of uprooting. Since leaving my birthplace, Kurdistan, as a child, I’ve carried with me the complex emotions of identity and belonging, navigating between Sweden and the Netherlands.
I use photography to explore the layers of life, where past and future merge in the present. It helps me heal, reconnect, and stay grounded, while deepening my search for belonging.
