Latest Work: Topophilia
Most of the artworks in this collection are currently on show in my solo exhibition, TOPOPHILIA: Landscapes of Belonging at Museum Hoge Woerd in Utrecht.
This collection explores how a love of place shapes our memories, identities, and sense of belonging. First used by poet W. H. Auden (1947) and later popularised by geographer Yi-Fu Tuan (1974), topophilia describes the emotional bond between people and the landscapes they inhabit. Mirroring the artist’s creative process, the exhibition offers a dialogue between poetry and art. Visitors are invited to consider how nature itself teaches us to thrive in diversity, and shows us how to transcend boundaries and heal.
