A group of 1000 used toothbrushes will create a traditional looking carpet. The used toothbrushes have a very personal and sometimes even sensual meaning. By transforming them into a carpet extra value will be added to this daily object

In this work stairs will be connected to the notion of an altar. Stairs bring you from one height to the other, each step is a process, just like climbing up an altar is. With this installation we want to present alternative possibilities that will make the audience question the standard notion of a stair.

We want to portray a decadent vision of today’s “yes we can” society, where anything is possible. A society with too much positivity that is creating a fake or plastic reality in which we distance ourselves from today’s real problems such as violence, war and pollution. Someone that doesn’t succeed in this positive society is called a failure and this notion creates people that deal with depression and anxiety. The aggressive pointy sculpture that is hanging evokes tension. The big plastic spike is pointing downwards in an threatening way.
