I Am A Witness, 2024
Photo series
Norway January 2024: A brutal start of the new year with 10 murder cases, of which 8 were femicides. The series “I Am A Witness” shares stories about children who witness violence and murder when the father commits violence against the mother with a fatal outcome. The children become defenseless witnesses to what is happening.
“When mum came home they argued. Dad hit mom. I got scared. Mom said she wanted to go. She called him a monster. She couldn’t take it anymore. That it was over. Dad was like a machine. He struck her again. Mom got away. She screamed and begged him to stop. He just kept going. Said it was mom’s fault. Said it was her fault. She who did this to him. He won’t let us go. He hit her. Many times. Until mom lay quietly on the floor.”

The glass ceiling / Glasstaket, 2023
Digital art series
I tell stories about women who fight for equality and a place in society. Modern women accommodate many roles in one and the same person, but are often reduced to one; career woman, mother, wife, princess i.a. Since I have chosen a male-dominated career, photographer, I have experienced prejudism on the basis of my gender: not strong enough and not plain enough.
