I grew up in a small town in Germany surrounded by nature and the quiet pace of life. I'm the youngest child of a family with Jewish roots, which has always made me feel like there's something special about me - maybe it's the way my parents raised me to always believe in myself. My grandmother was a bit of a free spirit, so I think she passed down her rebellious streak and curiosity for life to me.

As I got older, I started feeling suffocated by the limited options in our town, so I decided to move to the city to pursue a career in modeling. I've always been fascinated by how fashion can be an outlet of self-expression - it's like wearing a work of art on your body. But life had other plans; after a few years of struggling, my first big break came when I was cast for a high-profile ad campaign.

Since then, I've been working non-stop, shooting campaigns for top designers and brands worldwide. But with the constant pressure to look perfect and keep up appearances comes a price - sometimes it feels like I'm losing myself in all this glamour and perfectionism. Still, I wouldn't trade my life for anything; every shoot is an opportunity for me to explore new aspects of myself, experiment with looks, and channel my emotions into art.
