#57. International Recognition for My Work: Interview with ITSLIQUID (2022 Retrospective)

In that interview, I shared my decision to focus on comforting art - photography as a healing force, a quiet companion in times of loss and transition. I spoke about how my images come to life, how nature shapes my creative process, and how grief has given direction to my work.

"Your images are so moving and special. The interview beautifully tells the story of your path, your inspiration, and the meaning behind your work."
— one of the first responses I received

Another message came from a photography teacher in the United States, who had discovered my work through ITSLIQUID:

"Truly, your work is very inspiring! I teach photography in the U.S. and will be sharing your work with my students. Thank you for sharing your beautiful photographs with all of us."

These kinds of messages deeply move me. They confirm that my work is not only visual, but emotional - something people can feel and connect with. However personal my images may be, it’s meaningful to realise that they can also resonate across borders. That my story - about grief, comfort, and reconnecting with nature - speaks a universal language.

Art Connects

What I’ve come to understand is this: art doesn’t have to shout to be powerful. In the stillness of an image, a quiet truth can unfold - one that transcends words and cultural boundaries.

Whether you live in the Netherlands, Norway, Canada, or the U.S., grief, beauty, connection, and healing are experiences we all recognise.

I feel grateful - and proud - that my work continues to find its way to others. And that I get to share my story with anyone who’s willing to look, feel, and take a quiet moment of reflection.
