Documentary Photography, Essay (Photo Book)
Capitalism aims for growth and justifies itself by claiming it aligns with human nature: to always crave more. Hunting reflects this as rare animals are often killed for prestige, and trophy hunting is seen as selfish. While some view it as a hobby, cruel practices such as hounding harm the sport's image. Many hunters defend it as necessary to regulate wild animal populations and for high-quality food. However, animal protection groups argue that human influence can unbalance ecosystems and criticize the brutal treatment of animals and trophy culture. ︎︎︎

“Walburga”
Reportage, Germany, 2022
Faust (from the eponymous work by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe) flees to the Walpurgis Night, a night of wild celebration with witches, to distract Faust from his guilt over killing Gretchen's brother. The Brocken, a mountain in the Harz region of Germany, is central to the legend of the Walpurgis Night, but it is now believed that the "witches" used hallucinogenic ointments rather than flying to the mountain. Despite the commercialization of the Walpurgis Night, some people take the mythology seriously and see it as a celebration of women's freedom. We climbed the Brocken to witness the supposed witch's wedding but found something else. ︎︎︎
