For anyone willing to bend down to pick it up, the city is full of jewelry.
City Seeds
In collaboration with Thijs de Zeeuw.
In Amsterdam in the year 2020, just a little more different plant species were found than on Texel, one of our most beautiful national parks. That may be because more botany enthusiasts live in Amsterdam, but it could also just be that the Dutch capital is phytologically more diverse in nature than our largest Wadden Island.
The city is a landscape with a huge variety of weird nooks and crannies. There is an ideal niche in the city for every plant species. You could call these kinds of plants urbanophiles, lovers of the city. Plants that - like us - take advantage of the opportunities the city offers them. The opportunities we offer.

Lightsculptures
At once empty and strangely full. A sculptural exploration based on 3D representations of forms, grids and depth of field constructed through an interplay of mirrors and lights.

Photographic blueprints of sunflowers
The Sunflower. Totally worn out. And yet, different paths brought me again and again to that flower that has been the subject of art countless times. Perhaps it was for this very reason that I decided to take the sunflower as my subject for my exploration of new paths in the photographic process.
A journey back to the craft. Looking for the unexpected again. An attempt to rediscover the magic of the photographic process. Being open to mistakes and being surprised by the results. And finding out that digital photography and analog printing techniques can reinforce each other.
The prints are made in collaboration with Melanie van der Linde at Grafisch Atelier Hilversum.

This work investigates to what extent it is possible to show the contradiction of shutting off your immediate environment, but at the same time creating your own digital world in which everything is possible.
