A temple for the earth to nurture, to protect, to keep her alive and fertile.
A place to respect and honor the earth.
A place for contemplation, reflection, meditation or just being quiet for a while.
A place for prayer, to light a candle, make a small offering or recharge your energy.
My temple for the ‘living earth’ symbolizes my own "living” earth, keeping it fruitful and cherishing it.
“Levende Aarde” ( “Living Earth”) During travels, holy places, temples and altars have always held great attraction and are therefore a source of inspiration. Over the years I have often created works based on what I have seen and/or experienced.
For the exhibition "Living Earth" it was immediately clear that I wanted to make a temple, a free interpretation born of an idea. Mythology, symbols and my own archive contributed further, the details were created by dreams and spontaneous thoughts. Only after making these additions, I searched for possible meanings.
