„Art is restoration: the idea is to repair the damages that are inflicted in life, to make something that is fragmented – which is what fear and anxiety do to a person – into something whole.”
Louise Bourgeois

Since my childhood I have had the desire of creation and destruction. These ambivalent feelings have followed throughout my life. I create to avoid destruction. I destroy my creation. I create with destruction.

In my art I research the psychological effects of (childhood) traumas and the possibilities of processing; the right and the wrong way chosen by the individual: creation or destruction.

In the series "Witches" I depicted young women with damaged soul. In this series I try to create a synergy between creation and destruction: with transforming and damaging my photos with layers of enamel and oil I tried to visualize their psychological wounds.
