Decoration The Great Big Whale

For children’s festival ‘Wonderweekend’ in the Botanical Garden of Brussels, I designed a giant whale that served as the entrance to the event. We also created an oversized photo booth, where kids could pose among the coral like little fish, making for a magical underwater moment. The whale was crafted from construction nets, making it […]

Installation Dromoscopen

In ‘The Dreamscapes’ you will find yourself in an alternate world. For an instant you’re between fishes in a coral reef, peeping true little window frames in the buildings of a small city by night or listening to thoughts in somebody’s brain.

Artwork Vlaardingen

Vlaardingen, like many municipalities in the Netherlands, is many meters below sea level. What’s the children’s perspective on this  question of the future: ‘How can you live with water?’. Will you put on a very long snorkel at the dining table, will Vlaardingen become a floating island or will you tie the city behind a […]

This miniature ecosystem offers a surprising break […]

Installations Nemo

For the summer exhibition Fantastische Fietsen at NEMO, I had the opportunity to create three kinetic installations. Drawing inspiration from bicycle nicknames—the “Boneshaker,” the “Flying Pigeon,” and the “Dandy Horse”—I designed installations crafted from old bicycle parts, with a focus on the transfer of motion. The exhibition later traveled to Continium in Kerkrade. Measurementts Various […]

Installation Do Nothing Machine

This is a device designed to help you waste time. From the outside, it has an industrial appearance with a heavy, dark structure and chimneys puffing out plumes of smoke. But when you peek through one of the small hatches, you discover a sweet explosion of color. Brightly colored marbles roll through intricate tracks, carousels […]
