About
I make photographic still lifes – often composed of paper or found objects. My images are rooted in historical visual culture, particularly painting. I question the medium of photography and look into the broader concept of ‘the copy’. In my work, I reflect on themes such as the everyday, perception, and the transient nature of life.
I graduated with a BA in Photography from the Gerrit Rietveld Academie in 2013. Earlier, I had completed a BA in Philosophy and an MA in Photographic Studies.
I was awarded the Best of Graduates Photo Talent Award by Galerie Ron Mandos. My work has been exhibited at institutions including Foam Photography Museum and Unseen Photography Fair. It is part of collections such as Amsterdam UMC, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (NL), and various private collections.
I am a tutor at the Photography department of the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague.
