On her own images, Mona Kuhn comments:
“Growing up in different countries opened my mind but it also made me a bit melancholic at times. I spent my childhood between he beaches of Brazil and the crowded streets of metropolitan Sao Paulo, with frequent visits to relatives in Germany. In 1996, I landed for the first time in a place unknown to most of us, a space I call home now - a secure corner from the complexities of contemporary life - where those close to me feel welcomed, trusted, and share long hours together. The thread of this combination is the very foundation of my fertile ground and it is the human in those I photograph that does not cease to exhaust my curiosity.”
