Egosystems
If I look at myself, I constantly create systems that echo my ideas. I call these ‘Egosystems’.
Fragmented self ('23)
This installation (shown at Vrijpaleis) is a triplet of the self through painting, digital art and performance. It provides a view on our fragmented self.


Loneliness ('23)
I become more conscious that my behavior (and accompanying thoughts and feelings) is an act of fear for voids and loneliness and now it is time to face that through my paintings.

Transformation ('23)
In this installation, I explore my visceral reality.

​​
Through Egosystems I question, explore and show what values, rules and systems are in place and how these influence myself.

"Lion" ('23) - stories, media, power hierarchy, consumption economy

"Egosystem 4" ('23) - tech, nature, human, power hierarchy


Tree: Exploration of rituals, Digital medium in painting ('23)

Life as a Theatre ('22 - now)
The world feels like one big theatre, in which I play many roles that are influenced by the others around me.

"But First You Must Become Nobody "Fringe Festival '23, Tempel:
We merged the skills of Julia-Beth Harris, a South-African poet, Samuel Ruddick, a British musician, and myself in the experimental 40-minute performance.

In 3D worlds I mix paintings and my own performances.
