In her work Klaas explores the stories and depths behind what compels people in their lives. This inquiry fundamentally inspires her photographic work and film. She interprets it on a personal level, digging deeper to discover what she considers essential. Her use of both analogue and digital material forms her working space, her point of departure. By layering, mixing and connecting images with each other, and through the use of different materials, working with colour and contrast, she creates a space for the viewer that has a mysterious quality through which you can somewhat lose yourself.
