Hänen tarkasteluunsa kuuluu myös suomalaisen kulttuurin vaikutus näihin asioihin. Hän etsii 15-28 vuotiaita suomalaisia nuoria, jotka olisivat halukkaita jakamaan tarinansa ja kosketuspintansa aiheisiin.

What are we suppose to feel?
This message is for everybody who feels comfortable of telling his or her story for a photographic journalist body of work.
My intentions are to focus on teens/youngs who are having trouble with their emotions: depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder and what contributes to the tendency of these emotions within the Finnish culture. Are we trying to be perfect in school results, socially and in appearance? Does the pressure takes its toll in how we experiencing and developing our emotions? How comfortable are we with life?
I already am in contact with several people who are either over their depression or are in the middle their diagnosis. I am focusing on people between the ages of 15- 28. The level of exposure is completely up to the ones who are contributing to the story. You can do this in full anonymity or tell what you think is important.
I am Willeke a Dutch photographer based in London and I don't have any commercial intentions to this story. The story will be for a gallery in London were a collective of photographers show their work from all over the world.
Feel free to contact me with any questions.
