Fascinateí her humaná tvá river – her owní však from the world long hidý vala. In an attempt to stop time, Lene fell under the spell of photography, but also the desire to never grow up and to have total control over her own body.

„I wanted to stay a díchild forever,“ saysáká Norwegianá artist Lene Marie Fossen. The 28-year-old girl struggles with anorexia, and has never physically gone through puberty. She stopped eating when she was ten years old. Since then, the disease has completely crippled not only her body but also ours. The joy of life was awakened only with a new vášní, portraétní photographs. Hidden behind the lens, Lena captures the faces of Greek elders and children in refugee camps. With a collection of her own self-portraits she is among the world's top photographers. Moreá offersá for selfá states, interviews, TVá appearances. Someá timeá Lenina's photography gotá into the spotlight, someá timeá again startedá to controlá disease. Snímek is an intimateýing into the life of a lady whoás wish for the world to remember her as a v´ve photographer, not as a patient with an eating disorder.
