It's always good to find things that you haven't found before.

Before I even took pictures I knew that I wanted to have them as hard copy memories.

The photograph is kind of a proof - a proof that I actually met these people, that they actually have lives, and that they're worth considering.

My only agenda is to bring attention to otherwise ignored and shunned lives.

Every single immigrant is part of a larger history that needs to be communicated in all its ambivalences and complexities.

I use my intuition. I tell my students: use your brains, but also use another part of yourself.

I have the great privilege of being both witness and storyteller. Intimacy, trust and intuition guide my work.
