rose blood

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.
