Hi, I am MK and I invite you to contemplate the nature of reality and identity.
How many different realities do we embody?
How many lies do we need to tell ourselves and others in order to become who we are?

In Between Experiences is a collection of photographic imagery and short fiction about the suspended time where familiar notions of 'experience' cease to exist.
What happens in that liminal space when what is habitually called 'experience' does no longer apply?
The work doesn't seek to define where reality ends and illusion begins. Instead, it invites readers to question their own perceptions, to confront the uncertainties that lie at the heart of human experience and to embrace the ambiguity of a world stripped bare of its usual anchors.
It's a journey into the in-between, where the lines between what is real and what is imagined become increasingly fluid and indistinct.
Created during a residency on a secluded island, this work intertwines fiction with fragments of reality captured in the photographs.
This booklet is a first installment of IN BETWEEN = an ongoing artistic research project into reality and simulacrum

my new film based on my short story
Based on my 2024 short story, this film weaves together a canvas of personal video fragments. It's a journey through one woman's life across three distinct moments, each defined by climate anxiety, loneliness, and a profound sense of disconnection. The film blurs the lines between what’s real and what’s imagined, desired or feared, holding a mirror to our post-truth world.
This is a new kind of storytelling that makes the climate crisis feel immediate and deeply personal. Through loose fragments and an associative blend of truth and fiction, the film suggests that the ecological crisis is a breakdown of relationships—not just with the earth, but with each other. It’s a meditation on how a global crisis can shatter a single life and the world around it.
