pau is my dear friend who I met in my last semester studying in Amsterdam. she was on exchange from Mexico, we instantly clicked after she shared some home made vegan pancakes <3 after our l0oo0o0o0ong summer sleepover party -- including late midnight conversations, doodling sessions, munchies (ramen)(and more ramen), walks, and dance breaks -- i'm sure to call pau one of my best friends, even though we are currently separated by a huge pond of water :(

her art is so special and playful, it includes different forms such as sculptures drawings/ collage/ digital art

we exchange pictures of flowers 🌸🌺

melvin is probably one of my most outspoken, courageous and truthful friends. we connected after i -- with much hesitation cause i thought he was too cool and way out of my league-- complimented him on his light blue nail polish the first week we met.

Mel is an incredible writer and thinker, who is able to put so much charisma and passion into his words. His research during our studies has mainly focussed on Grindr and the affordances it allows its users. His final thesis paper, From the streets to your grid Exploring Sex “Work” in the Age of Grindr, introduces an entirely new research on the Grindr app and examines an interesting and essential perspective of online dating for the LGBTQ+ community, especially gay and bi men. Besides that, his impeccable taste for mens fashion and love for coffee is visualized through his instagram page. He has an angelic voice which you can hear on his IG or youtube where he posts covers, but also heartfelt originals <3
