Axle Hildebrand

My name is Axle Hildebrand. I a 42-year-old Filipino/German Canadian. I am currently a 2nd year UBC Visual Arts student.

After a difficult childhood, my career as a photographer began at age 12. At 20 I began working in a mill and 10 years later I graduated as a nurse. I worked as an LPN for 11 years and raised 3 adult foster children. My many life experiences help make working in this area interesting. 

I believe the decolonial turn is about peaceful coexistence and learning through kindness.  My work speaks to the inequalities too often ignored. and signals hope for better parents and future generations.
