Series of Echoes
2025Installation
Prospects & Concepts, Art Rotterdam
Series of Echoes is an installation exploring hidden aspects of the world around us.
Echo #1 combines steel and eco-printed silk—crafted with eucalyptus, nettle, hibiscus, and more. Steel embodies solidity and industriality, while silk, dyed with natural pigments often invisible in the plants themselves, evokes delicate organic traces.
Within the space, Echo #2 can be heard: deep, crackling earthly sounds from below meet clear dripping and leaking noises from above. These compositions blend field recordings from the melting Morteratsch Glacier with subterranean earth sounds, tape feedback, voice, and synthesizers. The work creates a multi-sensory reflection on nature, time, and the unseen layers of our environment.
Echoprints
2023InstallationHet Domijn, Weesp
A series of Echoes came forth from the project ECHOPRINTs that I made during a residency at Het Domijn in Weesp. Echoprints investigates the melodies we carry as humans—the fragments that linger, fade, or resurface as soft echoes of memory. They manifest through sound and material: new compositions emerge from recollections, while physical imprints on fabric, made with plants, anchor these memories in space. During my residency at Domijn in Weesp, I created the first Echoprints, painting canvases with biochromes harvested from my own garden and composing a choir piece drawn from the voices resonating in my mind. Layered with subterranean field recordings and extended tape loops, the work transforms personal and collective histories into immersive, poetic soundscapes that honor memory, loss, and resilience.
What melodies do we carry with us as humans? Do they become more vague as we grow older, or do they fade into soft echoes? Are melodies also memories? ECHOPRINTs are imprints of memories and are created through new compositions I make from these memories. I also make physical imprints on fabric from plants that strengthen these memories.
I also wrote a choir piece with the voices that were ringing in my head at the time. A call for peace and listening during a time when Gaza was being bombed, sounding on an extended tape loop in the exhibition space, combined with recorded sounds from beneath the ground of the residency.
