Een Huis Zonder Dak / A House Without A Roof

In 2024, I followed Lin, she is 27, a girl who writes poerty, and dear friend. On her journey of recovery from a burnout. In an empty house in France, I documented her as she slowly found her strength again. Like a home without a roof, she faced everything head-on trough every weather passing by. This series is about rebuilding, vulnerability, and reclaiming power. It’s quiet, raw, and real, a visual journey on healing, told through words, imagery, and friendship.
