Meanwhile, a solid rock can become incoherent sand and then a castle

Certain events in life can rock the foundations of your convictions. When life took an unexpected turn, I expected to be reduced to a blank paper. Yet this paper turned out not to be blank but a 0,5 college ruled (graph) paper. The ones on which we, from primary school on, learn to write between the given lines and do math. I strongly felt the urge to create some elbow room for each individual line and get rid of the predetermined pattern. This act of ‘ventilating’ was the starting point of a project in which I try to loosen up fixed structures and fixate what is coincidental. Reviewing objects in their multitude and play with their versatility. A reminder that a solid rock can become incoherent sand and then a castle (and vice versa).
