De variaties zijn net zo verschillend als de verzameling eigenschappen die de mens uniek maakt. De installatie met waterdragers is daardoor kleurrijk en divers en laat zien dat we allemaal onze eigen innerlijke draagkracht hebben om door het leven te gaan.
Water en ook kunst worden vaak geassocieerd met gevoelens, verbeelding, wijsheid en intuïtie en de verbinding met het onderbewustzijn.
Mijn werk is symbolisch gezien, als water dragen. Door het delen van creativiteit kan de toeschouwer gevoed worden met mijn verhaal, en kan bewustwording ontstaan.
Water Bearers
Paper and water
My installation ‘Water Bearers’ consists of miniature heads, each carrying a vessel of water in its own unique way. Paper and water are essential elements in the creation of these figures.
The Water Bearer symbolises the offering of resources. Water is the source of life and the foundation for growth and development.
In my work, the water bearer also represents the act of caring for personal experiences, memories, and emotions.
The appearance of each figure is shaped by the size, form, and quality of what it carries. This reveals something about the character of the bearer and offers a glimpse into an inner world. The variations among them reflect the diverse set of traits that make each person unique. As a result, the installation is colourful and varied – a tribute to the inner strength we each possess to carry ourselves through life.
Water, like art, is often associated with emotion, imagination, wisdom, and intuition – with the subconscious.
Symbolically, my work is a form of water bearing. By sharing my creativity, I nourish the viewer with my story and create space for awareness.
