The Story
Makes You Wonder is the third photographic series by Mark van den Heuvel, created in 2017. With this body of work, Van den Heuvel set out to do something quietly ambitious: to move the viewer beyond themselves. Each image is an invitation to step into another person's feelings, habits, and ways of living — regardless of who you are or where you come from. The work does not ask for agreement. It asks for presence. Some images will unsettle you. Others will disarm you with their softness and refinement. That range is intentional. Makes You Wonder is not a single statement but an open question — one that lingers long after you have left the room. In a time when empathy is increasingly rare, Van den Heuvel's work reminds us that looking carefully at another life is itself a radical act.
