As a mixed media artist, currently focussing on film, I position myself in the eternal search towards connection and healing, especially healing from deeprooted trauma. I am fascinated by our brain and the way it processes memory. Trauma and connecting through memories are recurring themes in my work. With a subjective poetic approach, I try to let the viewer come close to the characters (visible characters -physical- and invisible characters -sound-) within my work, usually portraying myself and my feelings. I allow myself to be vulnerable during the making of my work. Because if I, the person behind the work, don't allow myself to be vulnerable, why should the viewer? I believe that feeling, in every sense, is healing for us. I'm not so much trying to literally tell you something in the hope that it will arrive, but I'm trying to evoke emotions, to give the viewer a moment to acknowledge their vulnerability. My works always come from personal experiences, it is a starting point for me to become aware of my own traumas, the emotions attached to them and the influence they have on me. With my making, I explore the importance of acknowledging emotions and parts that need healing. With the intention that the taboo around expressing vulnerability disappears from our society.
