In 2021, I grabbed my camera and decided to shoot the Unmute Us event in Groningen. This vibrant and dynamic gathering was a powerful demonstration of the community's desire to reclaim their freedom and joy after a prolonged period of restrictions.

Through my lens, I aimed to capture the essence of the event—the exuberance, the unity, and the sheer happiness of people coming together to celebrate life and freedom. The images I captured showcase not just the event itself, but the profound sense of liberation and community spirit that defined Unmute Us Groningen. These photographs are a testament to the resilience and optimism of the participants, encapsulating the joyous atmosphere and the collective celebration of being free once again.
