I have been dancing all my life. I started with ballet, contemporary, Irish folk dance and from there on tried out many different styles of dancing. From all of these styles I take a little bit and incorporate them in my style. For me, dancing is experimenting with the many ways the human body can move, although there is a spiritual side to it too. It is playful and an exploration of my body and my mind.
Dancing to me is like breathing. A necessity for me. It is my way to connect with the world around me and myself. The thing that allows me to process my feelings and express them. Dancing is pure emotion, it is pure joy. It makes me feel like flying or like merging with the ground. It is being like water, the wind, an animal, a tree. When I dance, energy flows and grows.

Nude photography is something that I wanted to do as a celebration of the human body in all it’s shapes and forms. Something that was scary and awkward at first, but ended up being liberating and empowering
Being bodypainted feels like a transformation. The painter is putting his creative flow literally on you, inspired by the painted body. The feeling of being a living artwork and then working with what’s painted on you while modelling is a fun challenge, trying to capture and reinforce the magic of the paint. An ultimate freeing experience!
Being a part of Sofi’s Camera Obscura was a whirlwind of meeting and creating with all kinds of people, each having their own power. It was all about coming together, having a free space to express and experiment.
