The Factory

Clay and sand deposited here from the river are valuable resources for construction.

In 2021 I was kindly invited to visit the sand collection factory of K3. Being a factory that needs to make profit they at the same time invest in development of new nature, a much needed activity in The Netherlands. Their work in the Bemmelse Waard will be finished in a few years so I count myself lucky to be able to visit their site; a visit that felt like a trip to a different planet; unexpectedly, all the sand surrounding me had a calming effect on my breathing.

In 2020 I was invited to visit the brick factory for my project. Whereas the factory building stand seemingly forever, people working in the factory fade quickly in the silent bricks, leaving an occasional footstep in the dust.
