In the dunes of Egmond aan Zee, the locals has been growing and harvesting crops for decades on their ‘lankies’. Due to sea level rise, their lands have been overflooding with water, which affects their harvest and their community. I documented the water on the flooded lands, collected samples and used this water for the process of emulsion lifting. The archive imagery capatures events happening in the town, such as the annual marathon and stranded ships.

This project was made in collaboration with the Dutch Research Council (NWO) and KABK. I was invited to work with the research of Dr. ir. Ruud Bartolomeus with is part of NWO’s research programme Closed Cycles. 

Exhibited at NWO Life 2024, Egmond aan Zee and at Paradise, The Hague.
