flora batava 

installation, 2023
a video installation  i created for a collaboration between KABK and  the Royal Library of The Netherlands. 

this installation was exhibited in the The Royal Library of The Netherlands gallery in The Hague. 

text displayed at the exhibition: 

“nostalgia is often perceived as a bittersweet feeling. my instrument was created coming from a place of revisiting a memory. i am looking for an accurate description of a sense of reminiscence, without the bitterness. i often encounter a difficulty finding the right word to accurately articulate my thoughts . this piece is my attempt to visually express a sensation that I struggle to vocalize.”
