My work is rooted in the shifting terrain of my own life, a journey from the Netherlands to New York, from one cultural landscape to another, and through layers of personal and spiritual transformation. Much of my art centers on the feeling of being between worlds, and on the renewal that becomes possible in those vulnerable spaces.

Water is the metaphor that drives this exploration. In the Living Waters series, immersion reflects my own experience of entering new identities: moments of being suspended, and emerging changed. These works refer to the emotional fluidity of migration, reinvention, and belonging.

While ecological themes appear in some of my work, such as Fluid Futures, where marine life meets plastic waste, these elements are extensions of my lived experience near coastlines and rivers. As a former recreational scuba diver these environments shaped my sense of place more than any overt political agenda.

The Book of Yona reflects a cycle I know well: hesitation, upheaval, refinding direction. Through layered imagery and augmented reality, I explore transformation as both deeply personal and universally human.
