VEGETABLE ARTIST IN THE MIDST OF MILAN

I shot this video three years ago, and today I suddenly thought about this man and his incredible skill of making animals and roses out of carrots and beetroots (maybe because I’m suffering from food poisoning in Peru and am dreaming about anything fresh!). I was mesmerized then, and still am now. The most troubling part of it all is that all this vegetable artist would receive for his work was donations — and sometimes these donations were worth no more than 20 cents.

CYCLING IN LATIN AMERICA

In November 2015, I set out to explore the vast and diverse realities of Latin America, and to question the persistent stereotypes of crime and violence in this region. I decided to do this by cycling first through South America (Argentina, Chile, Uruguay, Brazil, Paraguay, Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador and Colombia from 2015-2017), then through Central America from May 2018. Through local women, I have become more and more involved in female empowerment and tackling male supremacy on this beautiful continent I now call home.
