I will keep you right here
In this work I explore the interplay of dirt, dust and particles within a fantasy of a digital microcosm. This world is characterized by continuous divides and mergings, where the smallest elements carry a profound narrative significance. Beneath the surface of the landscape there is a bodily motor that is buzzing and oozing, suggesting a hidden life force driving this ecosystem. The work follows the rhythm of breathing. Air connects dust particles, formed by pixels, to bodies both inside and outside the screen, through breath (hopefully).

This work was the graduation piece for my master's degree at Sandberg Institute in Amsterdam, Netherlands. It was exhibited at NDSM in Amsterdam North.
