Start to See

"Start to See is a self-portrait in which I portray the sensitive me through my delicate skin. I zoom in on my world of feelings. When I put this world of feelings under the magnifying glass I see a moving chaos of emotions. But if I zoom in even further I see a surprising new reality. For the creative process in my computer, I made a photo series of my skin. Literally from a photograph of my skin, I depict the process of making myself vulnerable in my personal growth. The artwork shows the interaction of chaos and order. Start to See is an artwork from the series Under My Skin, in which I tell visual stories about looking at myself."

Sugar

"Oy, how addictively delicious it is to eat yourself happy. Tarts with coffee, a tasty hot dog at the sporting event, an ice-cold frappé to wake up and chocolate doughnuts for my monthly period... I'm especially continuing this trend and plan to keep buying colored syrup waffles. Otherwise, I won't belong anymore. I'm sick of this sugar high. Surely it is the pinnacle. A world full of diseases of affluence, obesity, diabetics, cancer, and all because food would make me happy? But oh well, I just want to think about nice things, color, be happy and above all not take everything so seriously. Let's keep it lighthearted because there is already so much bullshit around us. In the end we all die, right? Or do I still feel fooled because I fall for it every day again? These ridiculously cheap sales tricks almost make me think happiness is for sale."

Rainbow Road

"While sitting in Utrecht having a cup of coffee with my daughter in the Bijenkorf, I took a picture of the spectacle that was taking place under our window. At that moment my daughter asked, "mommy, what is happiness?" Looking at Dick Bruna's rainbow crosswalk, inspired by Escher, this new work was born. I told my daughter, "happiness, in my opinion, is the process of life itself. The path to a set goal. The path of development and by embracing change, the happy road has many twists and turns." But the happy road also has many new perspectives, turning points and insights. The road is self-shaped and is also malleable. I also believe that we can be inspired by each other on the happy road. That happy road, I think, takes place big and partly in our own heads."
