Do you know that feeling when you're cleaning out your attic, but then you find a box full of photos from your grandmother so you get totally intrigued by it and keep going through them for ages, and before you know it the day flew by? That's exactly how I feel about your photos.

On a rainy day, ankles in the water, I picked up a young man.. Intentional.. Pre-arranged.. I put a home, food and place to sleep in the balance, he his camera and images. Maarten looked at my grandmother, mother, daughters and myself through his lens. Life as it is.. Thanks Maarten for the images to cherish!

I invited Maarten to make a portrait of the last few weeks I would be spending in the house I shared with my grandmother. He didn't only photographed the house. He captured why I want to remember it: because in those photos I also remember her.
