The series, Battle on the North Sea, initially a report for the Algemeen Dagblad functions as a photographic documentary of the Dutch Coast Guard's operational role in monitoring the fishing industry on the North Sea. It engages with the geoclimatic severity of the North Sea environment and the institutionalized struggle to enforce maritime law and conservation.
The work's presentation as a collage, initially for the Algemeen Dagblad report, utilizes photorealistic imagery within a structured chronological sequence that is maintained from the original documentary narrative, articulating the progression of a patrol. A key formal strategy is the deliberate chromatic intensification applied in post-processing.
This enhancement serves to hyper-articulate the dynamism and intensity of the depicted events, foregrounding the dialectic between the state's regulatory apparatus and the commercial enterprise of the fishing fleet.
