Endings and beginnings
I am fascinated by how things in this world constantly seem to move, come together, and fall apart again. A slight reluctance to either start or finish anything, plus stings of jealousy and frustration, drive me to create quirky scenes. The video work Endings and beginnings was developed in bits and pieces over a period of years (2018-2021). It reflects an associative visual journey, propelled by curiosity about where we come from and where we go to.
