“Journeys of Hope is essentially the love story of two young migrants, set in the context of my own explorations through the past and present of eastern Europe. The themes of conflict, migration and hope are a constant.”

“Sonia, despite her reservations, was becoming more inclined to join Meyer in London. Her life in South Africa felt empty. Around her, many of her friends were settling down, getting engaged and planning married life. Being alone was hard, after having been used to spending all her free time with Meyer, as part of a couple. Her friends – and Meyer’s friends – all encouraged her to join him. The problem was her parents. She was worried they would find it difficult to accept such a drastic move by their daughter.” From ‘Journeys of Hope’ – included in the showcase
