'DEEP ROOTS ARE NOT REACHED BY THE FROST'
Interactive installation
2022
With the help of modern technology this installation makes it possible to show the connection between humankind and nature trough audio.
The natural world around us is the first reality we come to know, and the one in which we are present as physical beings. By strengthening our relationship with nature, we can not only create more sympathy for our planet, but also help ourselves heal and grow. With this project I want to show that humans and nature have a much closer relationship than we may feel. We can see ourselves as part of nature again instead of separate from each other. By breaking this division, we provide more sympathy, connection, and concern for our damaged earth. This installation pulls us back into the ground to submerge in a different reality. The root network is a collective consciousness from which we can learn many things. Without this complex network, we would not survive on Earth. This installation allows you to use your hearing and touch to hear the tree roots sing.

'CURRENTLY ALIVE'
Bio-Art Woodwork
2023
In this mirror not only your own reflection looks back at you. So does the collective consciousness that surrounds you.
With this work I want to invite you to philosophize about your role as a part of nature. We are constantly surrounded by an invisible universe of bacteria, viruses, pollen and fungi. The purpose of this work is to give this invisible world a place to show itself.

How are we going to design the necessary symbiotic relationship between humans and nature so that we can survive and thrive as humanity?
You are less then 50% human.
Multiple scientific studies have shown that in our bodies, there is a larger percentage of microbic cells, then human cells. This means that your body is mostly made up of bacteria, fungi, and other types of microbes. With my work I wish to show you not only the importance of bacteria and fungi in the human body, but in all the world. Putting more research towards the intelligence offungi will showusthe importance of a symbiotic relationship between humans and nature. Togetherthe humans inthe photos and the mycelium network that grows on/through the paper create the artwork you see.
