Inspired by the subtle yet profound ripples created on the surface of water when something comes into contact with it, The Ripple Effect invites visitors to become participants. Subsequently participants are invited to become explorers of light, reflection and movement.

As participants interact with the installation, their actions provoke shifting patterns across the space. Echoing the unpredictable and mesmerizing flow of water, each participant has the power to transform static surfaces and spaces into fluid landscapes of light and shadow.

The Ripple Effect is designed to spark a sense of wonder, encouraging viewers to reflect on the interconnectedness of their actions and the world that surrounds them.

“My work explores reflections, everyday wonder and the effect of water through photography and installations. I make sense of my place in this world by infusing my art with a playful curiosity, while magnifying overlooked everyday beauty. My work captures fleeting moments of enchantment, inviting viewers to rediscover the extraordinary within the ordinary. In a hurried world, my art aims to promp pause, encouraging appreciation for the magic that surrounds us.”

Since the heavy rainfalls flooded the streets of Valencia in 2024, I could not stop thinking about the images of the residents sweeping the muddy streets. Amid the enormous amounts of mud and water, the act of sweeping seemed futile. These pictures conveyed a clear message: people are trying to manage the damaging consequences of climate change. Starting from this image, my project depicts men sweeping the floor while standing in the water, ankle deep. In front of the sweepers, on the floor, is a house and a car swept away by the floods. The tapestries are accompanied by a ceramic fuel nozzle with a knitted oil spill attached, symbolising the fossil fuel companies that accelerate climate change. The installation is created to show the stark contrast between individuals fighting the consequences of climate change, while elsewhere, the oil tap is still running. The title refers to a Dutch saying, literally translated as ‘mopping the floor with the faucet open.
