'The series 'Moordenaarsbraak' shows the history of dike breaches in North Holland, still visible as scars in the landscape in the form of bends in the dikes. Many people have forgotten that these bends were not made on purpose, but are the result of a dike breach. When a dike breached, the water flowed into the land behind it with great force, creating a pit up to ten metres deep, also called a wheel. A repair dike had to be built around this pit. Breaches with names like 'Moordenaarsbraak' still point to the violent history of the dike.'
