Don’t Break The Rules
Today you walk on these floors, look at the numbers on the cell doors and the whole area is still undergoing a kind of purification - nowadays, this space serves as a library, art shops and a cultural centre.
The line between good and bad is and always has been fragile, so in case you encounter something bad, think about the fact that there might be reasons for it happening.
Photography is her passion and personal journey – one that she pursues with a deep focus on architecture. Her attention goes to the classic architectonic styles where she finds symmetry and lines, and to modern architecture in which she likes to notice minimalistic details and unique framing. She approaches her work intuitively rather than technically, allowing curiosity and experimentation to guide her. This openness leads her to explore all possibilities. Black and white photography resonates with her as it teaches her that less can be more.

entry description
I took this photo in an ex-prison in Leeuwarden /NL/. It’s strange to say but there was an incredible atmosphere- full of everything. It’s like when you stop time somewhere, you hear steps going down the metal stairs echoing in one rhythm, silence and at the same time the noise of souls questioning their conscience, inhalation and exhalation, loud heartbeat.Today you walk on these floors, look at the numbers on the cell doors and the whole area is still undergoing a kind of purification - nowadays, this space serves as a library, art shops and a cultural centre.
