I am a visual artist born in Rotterdam and currently based in Antwerp. In my work, I explore how we live with water on an ecological, cultural, and personal level. I am drawn to rivers and water infrastructures as places where human and non-human worlds are entangled. My projects begin on site: through walking, fieldwork, conversations, and time spent along and on the water.
I work across interventions in public space, performative walks, installations, film, and drawing. Often, I build functional objects using wood and found material. I see these objects as tools rather than autonomous artworks: ways to physically relate to a landscape.
I organizing gatherings or small interventions that bring water-related questions into the public domain. Because these moments are temporary, I document them through film, audio, photography, and drawing, creating an archive that continues to shape my work. Throughout this process, I move between the roles of maker, organizer, and storyteller.
My practice is generously supported by het Cultuurfonds, CBK Rotterdam and IN SITU platform.
