    ...is about exploring your wide open future. A common sight on Europe's streets. People collecting returnable bottles that carry a tiny bit of deposit. I thought about this and started to wonder what drives people to dig through trash in a countries that have social nets, surely they cannot live of it. But maybe they want to show that they are still worth something in a society that is built on output and performance, that they contribute and have a bit more independence. Details:

  • Still Love shows a seemingly boring and pleasing still life. But what kind of flowers look like that? Well those that are made out of soft tampons. The motive addresses the issue that while the female body is often sexualised and dragged into the public by the media, advertisement, pornography or prostitution,  female sexuality and normal bodily functions are often considered private (for example period shaming). What is supposed to be behind closed doors is taken into the public and shown as what it is: normal and beautiful.
