Only The Sky Remains Untouched

In 2015, I made a photo reportage of Dutch soldiers and combat veterans during their annual pilgrimage to Lourdes by motorbike. The friendships formed during this project led to a second photo reportage, in which I portrayed fifteen veterans in a dilapidated weapons factory at the Hembrug site in Zaandam. The place is a symbol of the suffering of former soldiers with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Photos of these series are in the collection of Museum de Fundatie, Zwolle, The Netherlands.
