“While walking on the streets and watching people passing by, or participating by an event and observing people hanging around, every here and then I do forget my own existence and contemplate in the diversity of appearance of the people. How they are, how they move, how they have chosen to clothe themselves... It is a joy, which I am experiencing, while I mean to be them for a while. I do not just walk in their shoes; we exchange clothes, just like friends, relatives and sisters.These photo shootings are small events of being close to an other person. Youyoume is an attempt to visualize the beauty of hidden moments when someone opens herself to the other, to the stranger, to unknown ways of being.”
