‘24 - You’ll understand why I put you in isolation - Father. A scene from my short film Trauma Triggers Triumph. Running at exhibitions only.

This year has been filled with lots of disruption, sacrifice, and transition. I’m learning that today is yesterday’s prayer and that growth most of the time feels (very) uncomfortable. Our first festival run, our first short film nomination @iffr , and soon our first prize-winning film. We made this film with nothing but hard work, pain, beautiful human beings and help from above. Once again, proven. All is possible.

Grateful to see God working out things I once only saw in visions years ago. The journey hasn’t been easy, but I know He already gave us victory. @dekunstfabriek.699 is evolving, growing, and steadily claiming ground. I’m learning that growth often feels very uncomfortable. Blessed to build with friends and family. Slow but steady, we keep rising together. Teamwork really makes the dream work. Proud of the whole squad. Grateful for the opportunity @adidas @oonabaas . Slide to the end for the results, but even more important, the process. Happy Easter. God is good. 🫶 ———————- In collaboration with @adidas , our very own @dekunstfabriek.699 presents “Your World in Motion,” a pop-up exhibition at Mono from 9–12 April. “Because sometimes it’s good to get out of our heads.” Creative Direction: @segraphy & @timwes (@dekunstfabriek.699 ) Photography: @segraphy Execution & Production: @dr.eday (@dekunstfabriek.699 ) Client: @adidas Agency: @oona.baas Art Direction: @yanaengelbrecht Styling: @amberaste_ Gaffer: @varsbayd Make-up Artist: @brittbreider Assistants: Art/building: @gem.fz Building: @imanehanouche @emsmichelse Photography: @jaanejain BTS video: @itsstudio_nol_ ⸻ Brand Ambassadors: @timwes @dr.eday @frankysticks @pace.chasers @donossent @pim_bijl

This year, I started working on the biggest project I’ve taken on so far. Together with my mentor and brother, Tan Do, and a team of incredible specialists, we’re building the largest hospitality concept in Rotterdam named @do.bylittlev . From the energy and craftsmanship to the level of detail and passion everyone brings, I already know this project is going to be something truly special. Three weeks ago, we launched a crowdfunding campaign. We’ve already invested €2.2M, and to fully bring this dream to life we’re raising an additional €400–700K. The response has been incredibly heartwarming, reaching over 80% in just three weeks shows how many partners believe in what we’re building. I’d love to invite you to invest and become a partner. All funding is structured as a loan with a 4% interest rate. I truly believe we can reach 100% by the end of this week, so don’t hesitate to join us and be part of this journey. Much love, Tim See bio @do.bylittlev for the page and read more.

“I mean, I just really love to do this. No AI, just real people on set, working together, trying to make their best work from the heart. I love that, and I feel privileged to be able to bring these weird little ideas of mine to life. Here are some BTS shots from our latest project, starring the amazing @marina_mazepa . Photos by my talented brother @segraphy .” - I hope you enjoy watching this as much as we enjoyed creating it.

Worked on the new lookbook and identity for @ayahstudios_ — a young brand that designs high-quality pieces with care and consideration for Muslim women, among others who value modest and thoughtful design. I felt truly inspired collaborating closely with the designer and his wife. Our conversations, though we come from different backgrounds, were filled with respect, curiosity, and love. A special s/o to @maria.bodil — two amazing creatives who did an incredible job. Grateful to the whole team for their energy, creativity, and passion that made this project so special. Feeling honored for the trust. 🤍 ————————————————————— Creative director: @timwes Designer: @stefanolangerak Fotografie & art direction @maria.bodil ( @lieve.eek & @marthebodil ) Styling: @kilianvos Mua: @an0ukpannen Light design: @jaanejain Film: @janickkemp Studio: @parqstudios Brand: @ayahstudios_

When @marloufernanda asked me to direct the campaign for her first big solo exhibition, I said yes without hesitation. I’ve seen her grow from creating Nu-Nu a decade ago to this moment — we sharpened each other, challenged each other, and she helped shape the artist I am today. You can be great and still be insecure. You can be strong and still doubt yourself. I’m thankful God is not just the God of my greatness, but also the God of my weakness. Go see her 10 years of brilliance @wereldmuseum.rotterdam . I’m proud of you my friend 🫶 thanks to the whole team for making this beautiful work together, I’m grateful. —————————————————————————— Director: @timwes Producer: @dr.eday Production Company: @together.dedicated D.O.P.: @renehuwae Gaffer: @bramvandergiessen 1st AC: @dennis_bravenboer Stylist: @xanderpwls Assistant stylist: @imani_staut Hair & Make Up artist: @yourstruly.christinemarie Art Director: @timwes Transport: Tevin Renfurm Production assistant: @evelien.platteeuw Editor/ colorist: @renehuwae Music composer: @timwes Sound FX: @ashbessy Graphic Designer: @marloufernanda Studio: @astudios.nl Special thanks: @lackneranna_ , @larsmertns , @astudios.nl

@marloufernanda you’re destined to be great, to influence people with your gifts, to spread the light that has been put inside of you. What people don’t understand is creating this project is already the win, knowing where we come from. We’re exactly where we need to be my friend. Trust God.

I need to constantly remind myself that everything happening now was once a prayer. I feel like God is bringing me into a season where it’s really no longer about me—it’s about serving the people He has given me responsibility over. It’s about making sure everyone on the team is working from their strengths, not their weaknesses. It’s my job to see people’s superpowers and encourage them to use them. I’m truly grateful that I get to serve, I get to learn, I get to be inspired, and I get to be surrounded by so much love. Doors are definitely closing, but only to make room for new ones to open. Now go stream this is special on this day, this is the start of something really special. I love you all 🫶 S/o to my brothers @osayiense @foday.co Denzel Feurich for killing it. 🖤 Electronic music is black music baby. ———————————————— Director: Tim Wes Icons: @shaylatukolan @ami__keita @reillyfreemn @foday.co @passiansmit @osayiense Denzel Feurich Producer: @dr.eday D.O.P.: @renehuwae 1st AC: @thomasdeboer.work Gaffer: @geniusthedp Stylist: @lissa.brandon Editor: @renehuwae Colorist: @_______zino Music: Tim Wes Graphic designer: @rayaan.e Special thanks: @rotterlight @kampung.studios Production Company: @together.dedicated A tribute to my brother @ricky__montel__ Music team: @jeroenschip @notthatcammm

This Is Special. A Tim Wes dream ———————————————- Meet @ami__keita — my queen friend, an icon, the sweetest soul, and someone who was born to stand out. Never forget that, and never compromise your light! @reillyfreemn — my day-one king who can take many forms, but always does things in a way only he can. I’m proud of every step you take, the changes you make, and the growth I’m grateful to witness. Forever having your back. Love you both. Never forget that everything that’s happening right now, once was a prayer. This is special. Now online.
