Looking
This work begins with looking.
The image asks for presence.
The Beginning
The first image carries an order.
A world in with thinking, speaking and acting are connected.
Thus it was conceived.
That way of thinking forms the point of departure for the journey.
Along the way
During the journey, the image changes.
What was once connected, becomes separated.
What gave direction becomes interpretation.
Or loss.
That difference remains open.
The End
The final image is unclear.
Layers overlap.
Sings are recognisable, yet their meaning shifts.
Whoever seeks meaning,
mostly finds themself.
Distance
The image asks for distance.
Whoever looks to close sees details.
Whoever steps back sees coherence.
Both are necessary.
Silence
Between the images lies silence.
There meaning arises.
In what is visible,
and in what the viewer brings.
Return
The first image remains present.
Als herinnering aan een beginpunt.
What has become of it
is for the viewer to decide.
