Lomography - "When Amsterdam Becomes Home" Photography Project

With When Amsterdam Becomes Home, I explored what makes expats feel at home in the city. Through instant film portraits taken in meaningful places, I captured their sense of belonging and connection. The project, created in collaboration with Lomography Italia who provided me with the Lomo'Instant Wide Glass, used playful multiple exposures to show how the people and their safe spots become a whole.

One-Size-Fits-All Healthcare Is Failing Europe’s Migrants

At a busy clinic in Milan or a hospital waiting room in Berlin, a new reality is unfolding in Europe’s healthcare systems. The continent’s population of international migrants — now at 94 million and counting — brings countless stories and a staggering range of languages, beliefs, and expectations about care. Europe hosts the world’s largest international migrant community, according to 2024 data, and that community is changing what it means to deliver healthcare — and who gets it.

Can Algae-Based Fuel Make the Aviation Industry Greener? - DirectIndustry e-Magazine

Conventional fuels used in the aviation industry harm the environment. A recent EU regulation pushes for greener alternatives to conventional fuels to meet the neutrality goals set for 2050. However, sustainable aviation fuels (SAFs) are costly, and Europe has limited production capacity for them. The European aviation industry must find a way to adopt these fuels cost-effectively, such as producing microalgae-based aviation fuels to make flying more environmentally friendly.

Can Europe Fulfill Its Future Healthcare Demands?

In the European Union (EU), an estimated 7 million people will be working in the healthcare profession by 2035. This might sound like a lot, but experts are concerned it won’t be enough to satisfy the needs of a growing population of over-65-year-olds, which has risen from 16% to 21% in the past two decades and is projected to approach nearly 30% by 2050.

Watch That Attitude: Is There Ageism in Healthcare?

People are living longer in Europe. Life expectancy increased on the continent by around 12 years between 1960 and 2022. And despite slower progress during the COVID-19 pandemic, the trend appears to be continuing.

Not only are Europeans living longer, their fertility rates are declining. This means that the number of people aged 75-84 years is projected to grow in Europe a full 56.1% by 2050, while the population younger than 55 years is expected to fall by 13.5%.

This means that attitudes towards age need to change, and fast — even among healthcare professionals..
