Country: NetherlandsMy work may look sweet and colourful, but I have an urgent message I need to tell. By growing up in nature surrounded by plants and animals, I have developed a strong relationship with nature. I think it is so strange that we, humanity, separate ourselves from nature and our emotions. Through painting, writing poetry, animating and filmmaking, I try to change this mentality.
Rage [2026]
Anger and rage are often viewed as unpleasant emotions—feelings we are taught to hide. But why? Emotions are there for a reason. Anger is your body's way of communicating that something is wrong. This experimental animation colourfully explores the emotion of rage by using oil pastel on paper. Amplified by the beautiful metal music of Nina Grimm. We let the anger consume us, let the fire change us and let it burn away all that does not serve us.
