“When I turn to my camera to make self-portraits, I often do so in moments when I struggle to deal with feelings such as anxiety, loneliness, or desperation about the future. In such moments, I can look at myself from a distance and stop my negative thoughts from spiraling out of control. Photography is therapeutic for me – it helps me manage my emotions, understand my identity, and connect with the world around me when I need it most. I am inspired by the power of vulnerability and the way art can foster meaningful connections between people.

My camera guides me on this ongoing journey of self-discovery: being a human with feelings, continuously developing, and finding ways to heal from within. I hope my work offers a sense of recognition, empathy, and connection. By sharing my personal journey with honesty, I want to create space for others to reflect on their own experiences and feel less alone in their struggles.”

Gen Z, one generation, countless perspectives: the exhibition presents works by over 40 photographers from 25 countries born between the 1990s and 2010. Their works reflect experiences shaped by digital worlds, social change and global crises. Across four thematic sections, the exhibition offers insights into the realities, concerns and aspirations of young people. Themes such as identity, belonging, the body and gender are explored creatively, questioned and reimagined through new forms of self-understanding.
