Now,You
Now You See Me
The series ‘Now You See Me’ was inspired by my own history of being of Asian descent but having grown up in Africa. Many people judge me on my skin colour and assume that I am culturally Asian, which frustrates me. I wanted to create portraits that go beyond the image, and portray the real story beneath people’s skin. With this series, I want to visually express people’s internal landscape: their cultures, personalities and how they define themselves.

The other portrait of Lola is about cultural duality, the reflection that we project and who we really are.
50 years of
