i am fascinated about threshold and change, moments of transformation.

for me, these moments influence and direct the thoughts and appearance of people and also of places.

memories: i am led by my own transformative moments, and allow myself to re-experience them.

this takes me to situations where i am voluntarily homeless, living in the streets for a week.

or it could lead me to spend time organising events for foreign first-grade children, during their moment of transformation.

the results of my work process is normally visualised eventually in an installation, where I try to portray the essentials of what I have experienced and discovered.

this is often accompanied by a published artist book.

a couple of my topics are adolescents on the verge of their own discovery, and buildings about to be destroyed.

i am interested in hidden places and in people at the edge of society.

i am specifically interested in nature, because nature allows me to portray the time and space of my memories. in nature I find the visualistion of my story.

they are my text.

i search for dark and hidden places. i desire to make the invisible, visible.
