This limited print captures the soul of Marken, an island that owes its existence to the turbulent power of the sea.

Centuries ago, waves washed away the land that once connected Marken to the mainland, and this print reminds us of that historic event.

In the 13th century, devoted monks fought against the advancing waters. They built dikes and dug ditches to reclaim the land for agriculture, and this spirit of resilience lives on today. The vibrant traditions and indestructible spirit of the people of Marken are beautifully captured in this limited edition print.

Marken has captured a special place in my heart, because it made me realize that the country where I have lived for more than 25 years has truly become my home.
