Many of the rural places I knew in my childhood in Brabant, a region in the south of The Netherlands, have disappeared because of housing and industrial developments. The Brabant series has originated from my profound feeling of loss. I mean the loss of familiar places, the loss of the original landscape and the visible history of it and of course the loss of biodiversity and free space. My images show aspects of the present-day use of the land. In project 'Brabant' I have been capturing changes that have occurred in the region in the last decades. But more often I have been searching for places in Brabant that bear some kind of reminder of those lost places of my childhood. Reminders, sometimes almost visible and tangible, sometimes more indeterminate and associative. So often I choose to photograph contemporary rural places that evoke feelings connected with those lost places. To me photography is in some way a means to bring feelings of loss in harmony with the present, existing landscape. I notice that, fortunately for me, there is also the joyful experience of beauty in (man-made) landscape and in everyday subjects. Finding harmony in photos of present-day Brabant.
