Inspiration?

There is nothing that has not inspired me or influenced my work and me as a person. Everything has some kind of effect on me as a person and as a creative.

What does "travelling" mean to you?

Travelling for me means getting in touch with local people, with people and things you wouldn't have come into contact with otherwise. Being aware of where you are in the world and how you influence it, and how it influences you.

The best experience when travelling?

In Iceland, I was able to experience more than an hour of northern lights next to huge icebergs on the beach, and another was a kayak surfing expedition where I sat down for a moment and realised how lucky I am to be alive and able to experience these magical moments.

Plans for the future?

I am starting a project in mid-April that will express my thirst for art, creativity and exploration of the earth and my mind. I learn from others and the environment around them.
