De Pijp never drew me in with picture-postcard charm. What brought me here was quite the opposite: a street corner without canals, without picturesque gables – but with that peculiar light catching in the dark facades, almost becoming architecture itself.

The challenge was to keep the place recognisable without explaining it. No vanishing point, no landmark – only the interplay between what the light reveals and what it conceals.
