Dealing with the consequences of post covid infection, I find myself often not present within society. I am just not there; not being able to participate in life. Physically, at times my head just doesn't function. Within my photography I try to express a voice for people, just like me, who seem to be forgotten after the period of the corona crisis.

I studied for two years at Fotoschool Statief and there I learned the technical aspects of photography. From 2019 until 2023 I was part of Fotocollectief Utrecht. Within Fotocollectief Utrecht development was a key factor; every year different photographers were invited to teach and coach the group. In 2023 I was part of Storing Aub which offers a new impulse to artists. It is a place for research and experiments, depth and inspiring exchange with other artists.
