The subject of this work is the disappearance of cybersecurity expert Arjen Kamphuis; an accident, crime, or voluntary disappearance? No body has been found, and the mystery remains unsolved.

The Disappearance of Arjen Kamphuis

In August 2018 Arjen Kamphuis vanished in Bodø, Norway. Being a prominent hacktivist and cybersecurity expert, many theories emerged following his disappearance. To this date, his body hasn’t been found. A fatal accident, voluntary disappearance, suicide or crime ? The enigma continues. This mystery amidst mesmerising Scandinavian nature, inspired Jillis Groen to create a series of paintings. Field research in Norway, and close contact with friends of the hacktivist, allowed Jillis Groen to add realism to the project.
