I DON’T WANT TO BE AFRAID ANYMORE
(2021)

Between 33% and 40% of all people experience some form of anxiety when it comes to flying. I am among those people. I was photographing my apartment and combining those photos with maps of different countries, cities, etc. By combining photos of my apartment with maps, I seem to be teleporting to other places without having to fly there. It seems to me that during the pandemic, travel became questionable for many. For me on the contrary, the pandemic became the time when I didn’t have to think of it. This was how I started this project.
On February 24, 2022 Russia launched a wide-ranging attack on Ukraine. I had to move abroad. Now I seem to be in the opposite situation when I am in one of those countries that I wanted to visit but I can’t go back home.
