I am fascinated by the constantly shifting in-between areas of public spaces. Through pseudo-archaeological research and a focused examination of these shifting borders, primarily in urban residential areas, my artistic practice delves into the fabric of public space and our interactions within it.
At the core of my work are questions about ownership of these spaces, the definition of their boundaries, and the factors that influence these rights. I explore these questions through a combination of studio work, on-site observation, and collaborative creative processes, challenging perceptions of public space.
Currently living and working in Antwerp, Belgium, I hold a Master of Fine Arts degree from Sint Lucas Antwerp. My work has been exhibited at the Festival van de Architectuur 2023 at DE SINGEL, and I have participated in exhibitions at S.M.A.K., Kunsthal Gent, Extra City Antwerpen, Callewaert & Vanlangendonck Gallery, Pizza Gallery, Ponti Space, and Geukens and De Vil. In January 2024, I recieved the ‘Opkomend Talent’ scholarship by the Flemish government.
Feel free to contact me for an updated portfolio.
