A group of six sculptures are floating in the space. They are hollow casings, made of cloth and wax, as cast off skin. They contain the time that formed them. Alternating the arrangement between the sculptures during the exposition, the relations between them change. Not only that, the space itself transforms as does the experience of it.
This exhibition is closed. This is showing at EXbunker now:

Tagine and Tulips tells the story of my bi-cultural identity, inspired by my grandmother’s journey as a first-generation Moroccan woman in the Netherlands. By merging Moroccan craftsmanship with Dutch traditional dress into textiles and form, I create a dialogue between past and present, heritage and environment. My work is an ode to migration, cultural blending and the richness of growing up bicultural. It reveals stories that often remain unseen and invites recognition and connection. For me, fashion serves as a social instrument and becomes a bridge between worlds where identity is not fixed but constantly evolving.
