Mederlanders (Co-country fellows)
It is a pun between Nederlanders (people from The Netherlands) and mede- which is often used as prefix for doing with, like colleague or co-workers. It is such a new word that I even thought I had made it op.
For me it means ALL of us who share this country: The Netherlands. The last years we have had an accentuated separation between those who had lived here for generations, those who are first generation here and to the new-dutch, born somewhere but wishing to be part of this specific community (as it would be my own case).
The series of portraits represent together all Mederlanders. Anyone living here could identify themselves with one of my portraits. I want it to be the synthesis of all Dutch people.
