rose blood
Roseblood unfolded from visits to abandoned quarries
and terrils in Belgium. These are artificial landscapes,
often shaped by violent human interventions.
Nature slowly begins to return after these dis-
ruptions, reclaiming what was disturbed, yet the
traces of human activity remain etched into the
terrain. The landscpae carries these interventions
as scars: permanent, visible reminders of what
took place.
That series marked a turning point in how I star-
ted working with nature - not just as a visual
element, but as a symbolic and emotional space.
Since then natural environments or elements have
often appeared in my work, not necessarily as di-
rect representations of landscape, but as metap-
hors for healing and harm, resilience and fragility.
Nature, for me, often embodies a subtle ten-
sion - a place where something feels unsett-
led or on the edge of change. It holds a duality:
it is a site of recovery, but also of vulnerability.
