Aan Tafel is a book that was created in collaboration with the Amadeus Lyceum and restaurant Syr under my supervision.

My idea was to make a cookbook in which the cultural encounter between students and refugees is central. Food connects enormously, and is a great glimpse into another culture. In addition, the day is discussed at the table. That is something universal.

The result was a cookbook that linked stories to memories of smell, color and small anecdotes. The war vibrates in the background, but has no main note in this book.

Aan Tafel was for sale at the famous zine store Athenaeum in Amsterdam.

‘Aan Tafel’ was well received by local media.

Harry van Roekel approached me to design the cover of his new book. The book is about aging, lasting doubts about gay sexuality and daughters that may or may not be yours.

The book is called Zand (sand) because the Veluwe is full of it. That is also where the book is set. In addition, Sand is also a symbol of time and has the property to slip through in between. Sand is also a remnant of a mountain. In short, it is a versatile material with a lot of symbolism. Just like the contents of the book. I tried to extend that symbolism in my design.

ORP approached me to design the cover of their magazine. It has become a mishmash of all my reactions to the poetry that it contains.
