BIO
As a visual artist I bring together practice and reflection, using installations, essays, workshops and collaborative projects to question how art might create space for shared experience and ethical thought. Alongside my practice I teach at St. Joost School of Art & Design and conduct research at the Centre of Applied Research for Art, Design and Technology (CARADT), and I work collectively as part of YAFF.

I am Water
Acrylic one, LED screen, salt, 3D animation, soundscape, ceramics, glaze, gold lustre, stones
(2018)
I am Water consists of multiple works, including a 3D animation of a flowing river, a metaphor for the continuous flow of money and value. Inspired by De Nederlandsche Bank (DNB), it symbolises how we are swept along by intangible structures, ranging from financial systems to technological progress. The river references Millais’ Ophelia, in which surrender to the water takes a tragic turn. Icosahedrons — geometric shapes symbolising water — also play a central role. Some are rendered in gold, a nod to material value. In I am Water, I seek a balance between technology and nature. The exhibition tells a melancholic story of loss, longing, and our relationship with a world in constant motion.
