’29’

Transformation of my graduation project into a hanging wall piece.

Project ‘29’ is an homage to my childhood front door; the root of my obsessions and observations. Through the technique of extruding, I have transformed old shapes into new bodies, symbolizing the elongation and bending of time.

The brutalist Art Nouveau Bench

Metal’s character is both heavy but light, sharp but smooth and robust, but elegant. These opposites led me to explore how to translate metal’s adversarial identity. The legs are inspired by Art Nouveau, embodying the elegant and decorative character, while functioning as the two pilars carying the seating. This clear structural beam, inspired by Brutalism, represents metal’s sharp- and slickness whilst creating a sense of mass and weight. Resulting in a more memorable and expressive body.

unconditional love

These two sculptures represent the characters of two individuals sharing an unconditional love for each others. Each having their own identity, yet inevitably intertwinned. The sculptures represent their strength as one, and functions as containers that safekeep letters and notes shared by the couple.

oma & opa

As a continuation of my research on translating different characters, each holding their own personality, I have created a second embodiment of an affinity. ‘oma & opa’ will hold letters, notes and drawings that my grandparents have collected over the years from their six grandchildren.
