Project Info

Towards you - Soul of Pakistan

Traveling to Pakistan is overcoming fears of the unknown. My journeys taking me through the streets of Pakistan meeting the people. Working on different projects in Pakistan, for me the main impressions are the people I meet on the streets. My camera is taking their thoughts, trying to translate the unspoken. I do not need language skills to understand. In my work I let them speak, sharing my photos as a poem written for every woman, men and child - the soul of Pakistan. This encounters are speaking strong, giving us an understanding of life, of dreams, feeling into the wishes through my eyes, meeting them.

I chose this 8 photos as an unwritten poem, dedicated to the people.

A series of black and white photography, taken 2014 and 2015 as an ongoing project.

Photography as dialog

the unspoken becomes vision
