I am a bit late with posting (as usual) but I’m delighted to share that my project Between the Silence was awarded honourable mention for UNICEF Photo of the Year 2024. I am blown away to have my work recognised at this level and exhibited alongside such talented photographers. A big thank you to and all the judges on the panel who saw the importance and the value in sharing this personal story.

Between the Silence is a personal documentation of my family’s experience with Selective Mutism, a severe anxiety disorder that left our son mute outside of our home for years. I ‘armed’ my son with a simple instax camera to start to explore his feelings and I used my camera to explore mine. I hope that this project can speak to any family dealing with childhood anxiety.

These are the last two weeks to see the exhibition in Berlin at the Willy-Brandt-Haus. If you are in Berlin, please stop by and take a look! If you are not in Berlin, please check out the link in bio to see incredible stories that are affecting children around the world beautifully captured and told from amazing photographers from around the world.
