AND HEROIN
For years I photographed Moluccan events, but I wanted to initiate a project of my own.
In February 2019 I asked in prayer: 'How can I serve my people and be a blessing to them?'
In the weeks that followed, the idea grew to portray Moluccan success stories.
I wrote a plan based on my youth, which was shaped by the Moluccan hostage-takings, train hijackings and hard-drug addiction of the 1970s. At the age of seventeen, I myself fell prey to heroin, just like many young people.
