I see my photographs as pieces of my soul” — in conversation with Mari Ornella

Born to Hungarian-Italian parents in Belgium in 1996, Mari Ornella studied sociology before earning her master’s degree in photography at Moholy-Nagy University of Arts and Design (MOME). Her graduation project, Through Hardship to the Stars, delves into self-analysis, crossing her own boundaries, society’s unrealistic expectations, issues of femininity, and trauma processing. With this project, she was chosen as one of the artists for Futures Photography, a platform for photography that is co-funded by the European Union, in 2023. Both her personal and commercial projects reflect her humorous, surreal, sincere, and raw style. We spoke about her passion for photography, her creative attitude, and her graduation project.
