Even jij mijn geliefd lief nog niet kennende & omarmend mezelfje

How can you already long for someone you haven’t yet got to know? And how can that longing be subtly connected to your very being? Your body, your stillness and the longing for a love that unites.

This work explores longing, unfamiliarity and connection to someone you do not yet know. The work creates a space in which presence and absence are interconnected. My work moves between the longing for the person I do not yet know and drawing closer to my own sense of self. Through images, text, materials and the space itself, I explore how a connection with a stranger can nevertheless be faintly perceptible, and how longing can reveal something about yourself and your own sense of self.
