In the Niederlausitz (Germany) the Sorbian / Wendish culture is often seen in tourism. In this work I go in search of Sorbian / Wendish women and their culture far from the tourist areas. The question is mainly what is the Sorbian and how does the feminine show in it? I also ask about the survival of tradition and the translation into the modern world - how transforms / changes the Sorbian / Wendish tradition?

Biography
Photography is transformation - the connection between yesterday and today, now and tomorrow. It heals the past and shows the moment in the now. It connects people and nature, connects woman and man, female and male. These are the basic principles of my work and I apply them to every assignment and project. I prefer to address social issues that are often not so popular and therefore need a transformation.
Since 2011 I am working as a freelance photographer in Berlin. With Arno Fischer and Sibylle Bergemann I learned to take pictures at a young age.
