I am really excited, because usually I do not share a lot about my projects in advance, but yesterday I had the chance to show a teaser of my upcoming project at Fast Forward: women in photography.
My father is a sailor. Being in distance with someone I love, saying goodbye and reuniting from time to time, or tracking him on the world map were everyday things for me. My bedtime stories were their adventures with my mother around the world. During the course of the last years, I had to realize that moving so much between countries is not only about having a passion for travel but it’s my personal heritage as well. I have always been dreaming about travelling with him, just like my mother did, before I was born. Unfortunately due to the changing situation in Hungary after 1989, I had no chance to follow him when I grew up. Only the urge stayed to travel and discover as much as I can, and the pictures in my head of their anecdotes.
But in the last two years, I have partly achieved what I was dreaming about as a kid: I went on a trip for six months to discover the places what I have only heard about from their stories before. These days, being back in Europe I am still processing the materials. Now my plan is to create a book based on their memoirs, discovering more and more of my personal heritage. This photo is a teaser of this ongoing project, which I can’t wait to share with you, when it will be ready. 🖤
Follow our stories at @womeninphoto instagram, this evening I will share another ongoing project.
