It’s been two months since the graduation show and I’ve been taking some time to reflect:

I was and still am so moved by how many objects were added after the first day. By the end, more than fifty (first 2 slides) had found their way to the collective altar, all intertwined and connected with each other through grief. (Last slide = how it started!)

Even though loss can feel so isolating,
seeing these pieces gathered together
brought a deep sense of community, of not being alone in it. Each object carrying a story.

For me, the process of hand-tufting the carpet already felt like a ritual. The slow, repetitive movements gave me space to turn inward, to sit with my grief and reflect. In the same way, shaping clay gave visitors a moment of pause,
a chance to translate what they carry inside. taken in Katoenhuis by @myth.thecreator

We just wrapped up three intense, beautiful days of the graduation show and I’m still letting it all sink in.

This work is so close to my heart. It was shaped by something deeply personal: somewhere along this study, I lost my dad. That loss turned my world upside down.

I took a gap year to catch my breath, to grieve
and to find a way back to making.

When I returned, I had to reshape my creative process completely. Grief kept returning as a subject, I couldn’t ignore it. And slowly, I stopped trying to work around it because it felt most natural to lean in.

I wanted to finish my studies with something I could truly be proud of. And I am.

This installation carries my love, my grief, my care.
I wish I could show it to my dad in real life. But in a way, he was the starting point of it all. He gave me the strength and inspiration to make this.

I know he’s proud, of how pain turned into something collective, how it brought together all these stories.

Thank you to everyone who came by, who took the time to look, talk or feel. It meant more than I can put into words. taken in Katoenhuis by @myth.thecreator

Who am I?, 2022

This art work was created from questions that keep popping up inside my head (and probably many others!). Who Am i? What makes me me? What defines me? What is my position in this reality? A journey of self exploration, development & growth. taken in Rotterdam, Netherlands by @myth.thecreator
