In the collection of the Museum de Fundatie are these two photos from the series Only The Sky Remains Untouched. I've made these photos in 2015 - 2016 in a dilapidated formar weapons factory in Zaandam with a large format camera. Fifteen veterans suffering from PTSS (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and who had served in Afghanistan, Lebanon or Iraq were brave enough to pose for these series. In october 2024 these two photos were on the wall in the museum in the exhibition Remix.
