Mirjam Stenevik won

Mirjam Stenevik won First Place in the Personal Work category of the PDN Photo Annual '19. ⁠ ⁠ “I Don’t Know Who I Am, Only Where I’m From” is an ongoing documentary project about growing up on a small, windswept island off the west coast of Norway. It’s a story about a girl eventually moving farther and farther away from her family, desperate to distance herself from the place where she was born and raised. But it’s also a personal journey of coming back, after years of therapy and of living abroad, trying to look at the place with fresh eyes—without repressing the bad memories.
