Book The House - Karin Borghouts

Photographer Karin Borghouts' own parental home was destroyed by fire. Despite the feelings of sadness, chaos and irreversibility, Borghouts became fascinated by the beauty left behind by the destruction. Her intuitive decision to capture the charred interior at that moment led to a series of haunting and moving images.
