VANITAS
Vanitas is about digital transience and refers to 16th century flower still lifes in which flowers bloom at the same time, which in reality never do. In the installation AKMAR brings together digital flowers from different computer programs that represent different generations of computer eras. The oldest flowers date from 1991, when Windows 3.1 was still the operating system.
Vanitas has been exhibited in several forms, as an archive in a metal shelf, outdoor in a glass box , on the floor like a garden.

the title is a reference of the place from the raw wool which I tracked down

COMMERCIAL CROSSES
My journey of saving
packaging started in 2013. This unique collection serves as a diary,
documenting my consumption habits over the years. It encompasses a vast array
of packages, ranging from food and cosmetics to detergents, medicines, and even
hotel shampoo's. I carefully unfold the
cardboard and fold it into the shape of a cross, following the existing fold
lines. On the inside I bring a layer of
gold leaf.
The installation is
site -specific.

SANDING WORKS
Material
serves as a timekeeper for me, a skin that changes like a chameleon. Beneath
that surface lies a soul. Through the repetition of actions (movement), a
reordering emerges. With this reordering, I aim to approach the core where time
ceases to exist, and the present becomes the outcome.

YOU ARE HERE
I cannot help recalling a hot summer day, with no wind when the water looks mirror-smooth. Narcissus fell in love with himself because of the wrinkle-free water. That this same water can be turned so black by a screeching wind that it swallows everything is then almost unimaginable. "You Are Here" is a sculptural video installation, an investigation into the many guises of water. Those various forms all represent a moment. As soon as you register it, it becomes something else.

1 SQM OF OLD NEWS
1m2 of newspaper pulp of 4 months, the daily newspaper 100 x 100 cm
“What is the shelf life of news? The form of everything equally long, equally important fascinates me. In 1SQM, knowledge has pulverized and become a mass of 1 square meter. There is no longer a front page. Obituaries, advertising and war have become each other’s equals.”
