“In moments of joy and sorrow
In times of ease and strife
I’ll be there by your side
Holding your hand through life”

-Mahdin

Joost asked me to do a photoshoot of his family at the residential and working community for adults with intellectual disabilities ‘OlmenEs’. Here, in Friesland, lives his beloved sister Michelle. When I met his family, I was introduced to strong individuals who share a warm common bond around their sister.
