between our all university life
2024-2025
this photo documentation follows laurie, a film student from manchester, during his semester abroad in utrecht, the netherlands. 

amid a simple daily life of writing, cooking, and watching films, it becomes clear how deeply political decisions like brexit impact personal realities. 
without erasmus+ funding, without a work permit, and facing high living costs and bureaucratic obstacles, laurie represents many young british people who seek european exchange but find themselves increasingly held back. 

the reportage tells a story of friendship, creative self-discovery, and the quiet consequences of a europe that is closing itself off.
