‘Kabinet wil uitgeprocedeerde Afrikaanse asielzoekers naar Oeganda sturen’, las ik net op de NOS app. ‘We hebben een lange relatie met Oeganda en het is een gastvrij land. En asielminister Faber gaat de mogelijkheden verder uitpluizen’, aldus Minister Klever van Buitenlandse Handel en Ontwikkelingshulp.

Ik heb een kleine kanttekening, mevrouw Klever en mevrouw Faber: De rechten van homoseksuelen in Oeganda zijn een uiterst zorgwekkend mensenrechtenvraagstuk.

HERONS' DANCE • [sound on] There’s no better way to start a grey Monday morning than watching the herons' dance in front of our house. The sun gently peeks through a light mist, casting a golden glow that gives them a fairy-tale-like appearance. Nature’s magic at its finest.

I believe it's crucial to be transparent about the nature of these images. They are AI-generated representations, not actual photographs of real individuals. This distinction is important to maintain the integrity of the campaign and respect for the people it aims to support. I've taken great care to ensure that the AI-generated images are culturally sensitive. My goal is to create respectful representations that highlight the humanity and dignity of Afghan women.

I was approached by a young woman from Australia. She asked if I had photos of her mother and grandmother, Kalbelia from Rajasthan, India. She was born from a relationship between the cheerful young woman in this series and an Australian man.

It felt both frightening and fascinating at the same time. I wanted to stay and experience it, but I also wanted to get out as fast as possible. I wanted to capture it photographically, yet I needed to save battery life. I wanted to be, and I wanted to flee.
