Yin und Yang (Yin and Yang) Sculpture

I consider my objects like a lure that tricks and seduces, similar to the situation in angling where the fish encounters the bait. The notion of curiosity inspired me, as it is part of human beings who like to be tempted and apply tools to “hook up” with someone. Each of my pieces represent a metaphorical reflection based on these ideas. My objects are created from different materials and shapes, with smooth surfaces, so that people want to touch and feel them. In combination of materials like a balloon and the industrial material concrete, I see the potential to realise my artistic ideas. When I fill a balloon with the concrete, it then takes on a volumetric shape that hardens over time. In between, I can also myself stretch the filled balloon with the liquid concrete in different directions, which allows me to create interesting sculptural objects. What is very interesting for me is the process: how the liquid concrete hardens and what strange concrete bodies will emerge afterwards. You have to wait at least one day for the concrete to set. After that comes the most exciting moment, when I tear the balloon apart, a seductive object with a smooth surface then emerges.
