**A few words about your artistic career

My artistic journey began in 2016 when I was inspired by the beauty and art that existed in the community I lived in. The beauty was in the people and their activities, so I decided to start documenting their stories to share with the rest of the world. these stories in photos.

How long have you been an artist?

I've been an artist for five years now, I started working professionally in 2016.

Why did you apply for this scholarship? How will the scholarship support you?

I applied for this grant to enable me to document the lives of children in my community during the covid-19 pandemic in order to raise awareness of their rights. The grant will make it easier for me to travel in the community and will fund any filming props that may be needed in the filming and photographic documentation process.

What are your concrete artistic objectives after this residency?

My artistic aim after the residency is to establish a dialogue about children's rights with community leaders and to create more opportunities to create informative photographic stories in the future.
