be my sunflower can be understood as a personal visual diary. In the work, I try to sketch the portrait of a relationship. Photography serves me here as an opportunity to pause and reflect. In the format of the photo book, I create an order and gain an understanding of myself and the image of my environment - determined by the subjective gaze. In a non-linear narrative structure, I not only examine the relationship between myself and N.,
I also thematize the relationship between myself and this very subjective gaze.

I intend to make the interplay between distance and closeness, standstill and movement tangible in the visual and performative act of turning the pages. The title comes from a wall inscription from one of the pictures.
