Faheemah here, and welcome to my little corner of the internet.
It took quite a miracle for a filmmaker from Johannesburg, South Africa to end up working as an illustrator and designer in Bergen, Norway. But here we are. It is in the fusion of these two seemingly conflicting spaces that BergenBurg could be born. Encapsulating the best of the chaotically saturated streets of Joburg and the socially secluded, rain soaked Bergen. The perfect blending of eccentric minimalism bleeds into the work to create a uniquely BergenBurg aesthetic.
