About Freda de Ca
Writing & Photography
My aim is to understand and document the profound shifts shaping our global society, illuminating how these changes impact our collective well-being and our understanding of what it means to be human
With a background in logistics and a master's degree in international development and humanitarian action, I have evolved in the NGO sector, specializing in gender and inclusion initiatives, particularly in Haiti and West Africa. However, I soon felt a deeper calling to connect with people and their stories, to explore global issues in a more personal way.
This shift in perspective occurred in my mid-twenties, while I was battling stage three cancer. That experience gave me a deep understanding of the interconnectedness of global challenges and the role modern lifestyles play in driving inequalities and disease. I realized that these issues weren’t just biological or political they also stemmed from our disconnection from ourselves, the earth, and our communities.
After my treatments, creativity became my therapy, and I realized how profoundly art can bridge these gaps, fostering deeper connections and understanding among people. Through creative expression, we can inspire empathy, awareness, and ultimately, change.
