Jasper De Ridder
a canal-side workshop in Bruges, Belgium
Jasper De Ridder has a meticulous nature, servicing antique lifts in Bruges' old stone houses. His routine blends with the rhythms of the canals where he ferries parts across water, fine-tuning his senses with each trip. Years ago, he drove his car into a lake—a specter of his past that whispers to him during the night's quiet calculations.
