From 1900 to 2020, global sea level has risen significantly faster than at any other time in the past 4,000 years. The main causes are global warming, triggered by the greenhouse effect, and the melting of continental ice at the poles.

This led to the creation of the work "Sea Level Rise". Photographs of various major coastal cities have been painted over and anonymized with a white marker, since the issue does not affect only specific cities but all coastal cities at sea level worldwide.

The photos are mounted on wooden boxes that bring their own object-like materiality. The orange bar on the side represents an abstracted water level gauge. The warning color stands for the danger it indicates.

Images that oscillate between photography and painting. 
Deep colours emerge in multiple layers, 
like something hidden within memory.

"Shop for memories
and desire"

Installation

"Memory demands an Image"

Bertrand Russell

Inside the shop for memories and desire, the pictures leave the wall.
Red threads spinning through the space, creating references and situations through which the visitor passes. Maybe also in search of own recollections and longings.

Like a network of thoughts - images and scenes combine on different levels depending on your imgaination..
