All that follows

All that follows is a long-term documentary project exploring how we build lives that feel true to who we are. Born of my solitary experiences in the Arctic, it continues through encounters with people whose choices are bound up with relationships, identity or heritage. I focus on how these choices are lived out, day after day, through work, everyday gestures and relationships with others. Their stories inform my own search, shaped by a desire for freedom, personal attachments and the constraints of the world around us. Do we truly choose the lives we lead?
