Dans l’ombre de Tihange
Tihange, Belgium a place often reduced to a name in energy reports or safety debates.
But behind that abstraction lies daily life.
People live here. They carry memories, routines, hopes.
This project is not about spectacle. It’s about proximity. About how something monumental becomes part of the everyday quietly shaping how people move, feel, and imagine their future.
It’s not a conclusion, but a moment of attention.
A way of asking: what does it mean to live in the shadow of Tihange?

30 years of shaping metal with his hamer in the hands. The craft was passed down to Antonio ,down trough generations. His greatest hope is to one day pass it on to his son.
Short but intense week at the vismijn in Oostende, documenting life on the docks. Caught the @o.62_dini arriving after a week at sea in the English Channel, with the crew unloading their catch.
Followed the process from boat to land, met the family business Simon Decru handling the fish for local shops, and discovered a small café nearby where retired fishermen still gather to share stories. A great and fun experience ,thanks to @biekedepoorter for the guidance during a week at Oostende with @photography_kask
Cuba has been on my mind a lot lately.
A while ago I travelled across the island and photographed everyday life: people walking, waiting, working, sitting on streets, sharing food. At the time these moments felt ordinary, quiet. Today they feel fragile.
Cuba is facing one of its most severe crises in decades. Millions of people experience daily blackouts of 15–20 hours, and during peak hours, more than half of the country can be without electricity. Fuel shortages are paralyzing transportation and public services in Havana, for example, only 44 out of 106 garbage trucks are currently operating. Basic necessities like food, medicine, and water are scarce, and life depends on fragile systems that are barely functioning. Much of this is connected to Trump-era policies. Economic sanctions and trade restrictions, limits on oil imports, caps on remittances from Cuban families abroad, and pressure on international companies and organizations all make it harder for ordinary people to survive. These measures do not target the government; they target civilians. I do not agree with these policies punishing people for politics is unjust and cruel.
Looking back at my photos now, I see the resilience, patience, and dignity of the people I met. Life continues, even under pressure, and these images are fragments of that reality. They are a reminder that behind every statistic and headline are human lives, with stories, hopes, and struggles that deserve to be seen.
Thinking of everyone in Cuba today.❤️🇨🇺
Looking back at my trip to Morocco almost two years ago, along the coast of Essaouira. This trip opened me up to explore more , to notice, and to realize it’s not about the perfect moment or story, but about being there and being present.

At @upadaptivesports , volunteers and instructors make it possible: surfing for everyone with a physical disability. It’s not just about the sport, but about freedom, fun, and challenge on the water.
I followed @charlie_de_breuck , who designed an adaptive surfboard for his master’s project. Together with @jabalisurfboards in Portugal, he brought the design to life. In The Hague, Charlie presented his board for the first time to @jonne_moleman , a Dutch para-athlete and para-surfer who, despite a progressive muscle disease, constantly pushes her limits. Exciting moments followed as they hit the water together a moment where innovation, perseverance, and inclusion literally meet on the waves.

Victor’s garage is a small wooden hut on the edge of Viñales, sheltered by a sprawling tree that doubles as its roof. A few aging cars rest in its shade, where he spends most of his days. When I arrived, Victor had just come back from Havana with an old engine for a friend’s taxi , typical of someone known for always helping others. Calling him a mechanic doesn’t capture everything: he’s also a father, a fisherman, a bon vivant, and a friend.
