In my latest work, I explore how small rituals can In my latest work, I explore how small rituals can become part of the work - not as symbols, but as lived moments. Rituals can slow us down and mark a moment.
I am interested in how it changes the way we experience the work and ourselves, if it can deepen the way we encounter a work, and how meaning can emerge through presence rather than explanation.

Here, at the exhibition ‘Request for silence’, visitors were invited to take a stone, breathe deeply three times in silence, and place it with the sculpture. 
Every stone, a testament to someone’s stillness. ❤️

The second anaconda sculpture!
She is all about transformation. With her sensual, snake like body, the name Anaconda feels right.

The spiritual meaning of the anaconda is one of deep hidden power, deep transformation and life energy . It symbolizes big changes.
Because snakes can shed their skin, they represent transformation, renewal and rebirth. She is also seen as a powerful protector against negative influences. She embodies wisdom and the power of healing.
The immense size of the anaconda intensifies this meaning.
