For the podcast Wat Blijft, a series by HUMAN/NPO exploring the lives and legacies of recently deceased Dutch figures and what remains after they are gone, I developed a custom thumbnail illustration. Wat Blijft follows personal stories and reflections that help listeners understand the impact and meaning of a life well lived.

The visual concept shows a person walking through an open field, leaving a visible path behind them. This evolving footprint symbolizes how each life’s journey is shaped over time, and how the traces we leave can inspire others to continue forward. The illustration seeks to express the idea that individual experience becomes part of a larger, shared human story, reminding the audience of the lasting influence we have through the paths we forge.
