Artist Statement 
Coming from a family which always has worked in (mental) health care, I heard interesting stories about their work at the kitchen table.
It sparked my interest in those stories. My work always has a social tone to it. As a social maker, I work with people that are different form the norm, outsiders. With my documentary films, my viewer and I get acquainted with the world of these often misunderstood people.

By working observantly, but get very close with and to my subject, I get to know more about their way of living and their behavior. A good relationship with these subjects is essential. Without trust, you’re nowhere.

With my films I get to know the world around better, as well as myself. With this personal research, I make my viewer familiar with people and places they maybe have never seen before.
