My projects are inspired by the human inner landscape and its reflections outside, in nature. I see the camera as a transformative tool for exploring different layers. With a background in Western psychology and curiosity towards Eastern philosophy I'm interested in the analogies between the language of inner growth and imagery. 

“A man sets out to draw the world. As the years go by, he peoples a space with images of provinces, kingdoms, mountains, bays, ships, islands, fishes, rooms, instruments, stars, horses, and individuals. A short time before he dies, he discovers that the patient labyrinth of lines traces the lineaments of his own face.” Jorge L. Borges.

 

I was born in 1985 in Hoorn, right at the Lake IJssel, in the northwest of the Netherlands. After an academic studies in psychology I continued studying art.
