Botanica from the Gardens and Peripheries of Future:
Rafflesia itineris
2025multimedia sculptural installation
6 earthenware sculptures, collected insects, colored resin, alginate bioyarn; oil on plasterboard, 200x39cm
Installation Rafflesia itineris is a part of ongoing series about speculative botanical futures, exploring various plant species and their possible evolution in response to human-induced catastrophes. This project questions whether plant knowledge can help with facilitation of lost third places while proposing a path towards a multispecies future where harmonious coexistence is possible.
For more information on the project, as well as the particular plant renditions themselves, please visit the encyclopeadic page here.

Fragments, continuously evolving
2025
pencil and wax pastel on salvaged plasterboard
Fragments is an investigation into techno-fossilazation of materials, manifesting as fictive plant drawings on salvaged plasterboard. The plasterboard is explored as an alternative for canvas, minimizing waste of the project it comes from originally, as well as reducing the need for purchasing newer materials.
The reused boards originally come from the installation Your Own Sun by Brianna Leatherburry, produced and shown at A Tale Of A Tub in an exhibition by the name of The Drain, which I helped building up. Therefore, I have worked with the material twice with my own hands in completely different settings and conditions, with different tools.

the fountain of togetherness: in bubbles we are one
2024 spatial installation
The Queer Geobacter, Quartair, Den Haag, NL
stoneware fountain vessel pumping water with mint syrup, soil
Mythologically, fountain is recognised as a magical vessel yealding certain powers enhanced by drinking.
This fountain has the power to bring people together and facillitate space for connection and queer belonging. Here, hydration is seen as a community ritual, an enhancement of the communal body of water we are all connected to - feeling our roots tugging underground, growing towards new spaces and twirling around the ones established.
The fountain creates a space to think and ruminate in a world where there is no time to just sit down and simply be.

In here we are all in peace
2023 spatial installation
Destillaat #25, Extrapool, Nijmegen
baked stoneware fountain vessel pumping rooibos tea, 5 unfired clay vessels slowly dissolving in liquid, a poem and a risoprinted wallpaper
in here we are all in peace is a spatial installation developed during my residency stay at Extrapool. The installation is a product of continual exploration of the relation of water to beings and materials. Running on the overarching thought that everyone is a body of water, as proposed in the text Bodies of Water: Posthuman feminist phenomenology by Astrida Neimanis, I built an oasis of interconnectedness and togetherness. Here, hydration is seen as a community ritual, an enhancement of the communal body of water we are all connected to and entering and existing in this space together is an act of care in a hostile, fast-paced world.
Unfired clay vessels mimic human bodies growing backwards as they are being hydrated and slowly dissolved into their previous form. Their transformation back into raw form of material is seen as a performance and spans over various days as the act of recycling clay is a lengthy and physical process.
Via this action, clay reclamation becomes a poetic metaphor for rebirth, enhancing the same external pool we are when we have a cup of water.
