"In 2006, during a high-school exchange year in the United States, I was sexually abused by two individuals. In the years that followed I tried to block out all memory of it, which led me to develop coping mechanisms such as addiction and control issues, and deeply influenced how I relate to others and how I understand intimacy. In 2022 I decided to go back to the United States with my mother to find closure. It became a road trip through time, in which I used the camera as a filter to create the distance I needed to hold conversations I had put off for years."
