In this day and age we as women would like to do everything. Be
a mother, wife, and working girl, looking pretty… And we’ve
been told that sky is the limit. That we can do and handle what
ever we want. But what happens if little by little you discover
your ‘feminine side’ is given you a lot of trouble. Your health
problems are keeping you from concurring the world.

Sore Ground is a photographic testimony of my self, an
observation of my inner self. A side, a reality, I wasn’t keen to
show to others. Nor was I ready to accept it my self. I could not
talk about the pain, but I eventually tried. And I used my
images as evidence so I could understand it myself and to
communicate with others.’

‘I often say my work is like an eclectic puzzle that I try to solve
and create at the same time.
The series I make are in fact single images carefully put
together to strengthen each other and show the feeling I try to
communicate through my work.’

Camille’s work is influenced by her international background and experience, having lived in Curacao, France and Spain. Currently she is based in Amsterdam. In September 2014, her first book My Other Side (Grey Matters 5) was published by Schilt Publishing. In November she got selected as one of the New Dutch talents of 2015.
