Invisible bond. A project about the identity of sister pairs. As different as they might be - they are all connected by an invisible bond that creates trust and shapes the mutual identity of each. From their first encounter, the thin string begins to grow into an ever stronger bond. Over the years, sisters gather more and more shared experiences, forming a mutual collection of memories - whether positive or negative. But how can the trust and shared identity of sisters be made visible? What role do sisters, alongside parents and other social contacts, play in identity development? I have portrayed various sisters who all have a special connection to each other in a unique way; be it through the same strokes of fate, early responsibility, contrasting characters or unique and visible characteristics that make them appear opposites at first glance, but through which they had to go through similar social experiences.

She strives to capture the beauty in the ordinary and to see something special in every human being. Her photographic work plays with the sharp contrast of light and shadow, oscillating between abstraction and figuration. With a keen focus on aesthetically pleasing colour combinations, she embodies an artistic and fashionable vision. Sarah draws inspiration from the small details of the everyday – whether it's the play of light and shadow on familiar paths or mundane moments involving ordinary objects. Her work is a constant journey of discovery, where she strives to capture beauty in simplicity and authenticity, sharing the unique stories and facets of the world around us. Sarah’s work has been exhibited and awarded nationally and internationally. In 2023 she was awarded the Art Director’s Club Talent Award in Gold.
