IN WAFTS (2017)
Loneliness is being detached and disconnected. Loneliness feels helpless. And loneliness is uncomfortable.
In my research, I focused primarily on how an audible expression of these phenomena could sound like. What would the inner sound of a lonely person be like?
In my work spherical sounds, a sirenic wail and deeply subtle rhythm evoke a heart beating, gaining strength from abstract moving shapes that suggest a nature flowing through a universe of black doom.

About
Research lab: Loneliness and the City
In collaboration with the National Council for Health and Society (Raad voor Volksgezondheid en Samenleving, RVS), students from different departments investigated the issue of loneliness within the Dutch urban context during a Research Lab called 'Loneliness and the City'.
The results of the project were presented in an exhibition that opened on Valentine’s Day, 14 February 2017, where a publication of the RVS, on Loneliness, entitled 'Wat ik met Kerst mis', was also launched.
