Helena van der Kraan (1940–2020) captured the quiet beauty of everyday life. In her still life, natural light gently shapes a chair, a bottle, or a window, turning ordinary objects into bearers of intimacy and memory. 

Quiet Longing brings together a selection of photographs that embody this stillness and subtle desire. Images where ordinary things hold a sense of waiting, tenderness, and time passing. Themes of love, friendship, and memory run throughout her work. With a refined sense of light, texture, and color, she created images that appear effortless yet resonate deeply.
