I am a visual artist based in Antwerp, Belgium. My work is driven by conceptual questions about existence and ways of living. It investigates how cultural history and scientific concepts shape our understanding of existence, often referencing actions, objects and stories that have similarities across cultures – such as the rosary, circumambulation and Genesis stories.
Through the bodies of sculptures and installations, I create scenes where stories can unfold. These spaces and objects carry the desire to be activated, often through ritualistic practices. This results in interactions through which the work can grow while it exists in a given space and moment.
In my creative process, I am fascinated by 'point zero' – an unknown and undefined space, a void where everything remains yet to be shaped, and thus possible, existing between presence and absence. This concept allows me to investigate different ways of existing, shaping my conceptual approach to art.
