I am an Ausländer, a migrant, and ultimately a human being. Our tendency to label one another is deeply ingrained within us, an unconscious habit we can't seem to escape and often we engage in.

Similar to my photographs, my thoughts and emotions intertwine. I experience countless feelings simultaneously.

I feel fortunate and isolated, joyful and sorrowful, appreciative and apprehensive, liberated and confined, privileged and overwhelmed, and so much more.
