Fluid

Being fluid means to be able to flow and change shape easily.

When I think of 16-year-old Felix, fluid is the first word that comes to my mind. Born in water, Felix is an aspiring professional dancer. Even if dancing has always come naturally to him, he trains hard every day, constantly pushing his body further. He is a gem in the air, but I find that water translates his infinite gracefulness better.

Belgian photographer currently based in Luxembourg, I work on a diverse range of subjects dealing with portraiture, documentary photography, street photography and fine art. I explore storytelling through photography in order to shed light on the manifold aspects of life.

I have a Masters degree in English and German literature, and in literary translation. I lived four years in the Philippines, and five years in Australia.

Awards My work has been awarded various prizes and has been exhibited in Australia, Belgium, France, Spain, Italy and Myanmar.
