Between people, systems & uncertainty
Systems, routines, and technologies shape how we act, relate to one another, and make sense of the world. They provide structure, but also impose limits. My work focuses on moments when these structures become unstable, boundaries blur, meanings shift, and our sense of agency is called into question.
Working across performance, video, installation, and writing, I explore the tensions between control and uncertainty, participation and resistance. My work considers how we navigate the systems around us, and how encounters between people can create space for change.

Tussen mensen, systemen & onzekerheid
Systemen, routines en technologieën beïnvloeden hoe we handelen, ons tot elkaar verhouden en de wereld begrijpen. Ze bieden structuur, maar leggen ook beperkingen op. Mijn werk richt zich op momenten waarop deze structuren instabiel worden, grenzen vervagen, betekenissen verschuiven en ons gevoel van handelingsvermogen ter discussie komt te staan.
Met performance, video, installatie en tekst onderzoek ik de spanningen tussen controle en onzekerheid, participatie en verzet. Mijn werk onderzoekt hoe we ons verhouden tot de systemen om ons heen en hoe ontmoetingen tussen mensen ruimte kunnen scheppen voor verandering.
