My mission is to bring attention to the often-overlooked experiences of those affected by borders, both physical and intangible. I believe that through my lens, I can shed light on the barriers that restrict freedom, limit access, and divide communities. Our project is dedicated to capturing the diverse stories and perspectives of those who are directly impacted by these borders, and to inspiring empathy, understanding, and a call to action.

I aim to explore the physical borders that have been erected around our world, showcasing the impact they have on the environment, wildlife, and communities. My photographs will give voice to the stories of those who are affected by these physical barriers, and challenge the notion that these borders are necessary or justified.

Financial and cultural borders also play a significant role in shaping our world and limiting the opportunities of individuals and communities. Through our project, we aim to bring awareness to the systemic barriers that restrict access to education, healthcare, and employment. Our goal is to create a visual narrative that highlights the experiences of those impacted by financial and cultural barriers and to spark discussions about the need for greater equity and inclusivity.

In sum, my mission is to use the power of photography to raise awareness and bring attention to the impact of borders and barriers, both physical and intangible, on society. I aim to inspire a conversation and create a call to action toward creating a more inclusive, connected, and equitable world.
