film - schrijven - audiovisueel - installatie - collage

I am an artist, filmmaker, writer. My writing ranges from poetry to critical essays. Many of my works are auto-ethnographic, in which I employ personal and familial images and experiences to discuss cultural memory and social critique. I also “write” with images. In my work, narratives often emerge out of the conglomerate of image, sound and captioning. My subjects involve oppression, trauma, agency, home, language and time. My themes concern grief, repair, hope and belonging. In 2022, I started turning (moving) images into physical objects and situating them in space. Through installation—a relatively new strand of my practice—I have begun to investigate the materiality of images and its world-making and storytelling potentials.
