Een zoektocht naar identiteit, verloren liefde en de waarheid. Verstrengeld in de ranken van het verlangen en het streven naar wat voorbij is. 

A search for identity, lost love and truth. Forever entangled in the tendrils of longing, and the pursuit of what lies beyond.


Maarten and M.

M, the enigmatic being who has captured my curiosity and imagination, has been an intriguing subject of study for the past months. His presence has challenged my understanding of the world, blurring the lines between reality and fiction. Through our conversations and shared experiences, I have come to appreciate the depth of his creativity and the mysteries that surround him. M’s story, though met with skepticism by some, has left an indelible mark on my perspective. As I continue to delve into the depths of his existence, I am reminded of the profound beauty that lies in the unknown and the infinite possibilities that await those who dare to venture beyond the boundaries of convention. M’s presence in my life has been a catalyst for exploration, and I am grateful for the chance to unravel the layers of his extraordinary existence.

Welcome to a story of wonder, connection and the unwavering pursuit of truth.
