About the series: I started documenting the Democratic Republic of Congo during the elections in 2001.This project offers a vision of the country from within. This body of work is an attempt to translate the everyday situation of a country which is still undergoing the collateral impact of long-running conflicts. This project arises from my own aspiration to visualize my country from a different perspective.
