The female model out of the box.
Patterns stand for habits, rules and rituals. These works with projected patterns stand for the metaphor of the dictated habits and illustrate the potential ease to just step out of the dominating rules. The power of domination is just a less than skin deep shallowness that is gone when you move out of the projection. It is the tropism of the lurking light that stimulates to fly like moths blinded and encircling  the enlightened source till the wings are broken. Though true tropism wants to break the pattern.

Illuminated Bodies

"The concept of our baroque series 'Ultra Vanity' sheds new light on plants, flowers, food, natural history objects and taxidermy objects. We, Margot van de Stolpe and I, arrange these in the 'vanitas' way of the old masters, while capturing the still life in a contemporary perception.
By means of a special ultra violet lighting, organic matter presents an unfamiliar colour scheme. Hereby we enter the domain of insects that can see in the UV spectrum the secret messages of plants. Flowers light up bright as they have to lure insects and flower leaves show patterns that act as landing strips, leading the way to the nectar. Through this magical perception shift in nocturnal colours, we aim to achieve an experience of awe and awakening.
