Biography
I opened my eyes for the first time in Belgium half a century ago, and when I was nine they were checked by an optician. She prescribed a pair of purple framed spectacles. With them, I ventured into a new reality, discovering that the world was not actual blurry. Depth of field and focus became familiar concepts. My spectacles were magic and what I could see was as captivating as the photos emerging in my father's dark room. In search of different shades of light, I traveled. And I was fascinated again and again. I have lived in Jogjakarta, Indonesia for 23 years and I am now based in Seoul.
