As a child I actually wanted to become an archaeologist. In my youthful imagination digging in the earth had something adventurous. I am interested in history, myths and legends. I want to understand the meaning of this history. Photography has therefore become a 'tool' for me to dig into history and cultural phenomenons. Escaping my own mundane everyday life, i seek connection with others through my work.

By doing this in a playful and colourful manner, together with the communities I engage with; "where nothing seems what it is". Like a self created history. Archive collections are often the starting point of a story.

Though always emphatically and respectfully with people and their stories. Collaborating with various families and archive institutions in the Netherlands; for example the City Archives in The Hague.

Graduated from the Royal Academy of Arts, The Hague in 2014. Photographing shooting ranges in the Netherlands entitled "It Takes My Mind Off Things". The story was self-published as a photo book in November 2015, with the launch at Paris Photo.

In december 2023 the photobook Drakeblood was launched, with publisher Lecturis.
