Sapere Aude: Dare to Enlighten
In a world often shrouded in shadows and confusion, three glowing crosses rise from the landscape. Towering like power pylons, they stand firmly rooted, each radiating a bright, pulsating light that pierces the darkness and illuminates the mind. These crosses embody the core values of the Enlightenment: reason, humanity, respect, and tolerance.
Each cross symbolizes an essential principle:
Reason – The guiding light of rationality, inviting us to think clearly and without prejudice.
Humanity – The warmth of compassion and our shared quest for a just and equitable world.
Tolerance – The bridge between differences, forging paths of understanding and harmony.
The lines connecting the crosses spark and hum with invisible energy, a metaphor for the unbreakable links between these ideals. Just as electricity powers the modern world, these principles fuel the spirit and the fabric of society. Surrounding the structures is a landscape of intricate beauty—a fusion of natural splendor and industrial might. The light from the crosses reflects on the surface of a nearby river, rippling with perpetual motion, symbolizing connection and transformation.
“Have the courage to use your own understanding,” these pylons silently proclaim to the sky, echoing Kant’s timeless exhortation. Sapere Aude—dare to know, dare to think, dare to act. These words challenge us to ignite the light of our own reason and resist the inertia of ignorance and dogma.
The glowing crosses remind us that enlightenment is not a final destination but an ongoing journey of courage and self-awareness. They call on us to be carriers of light, to wield our own understanding, and to collectively build a world where reason and humanity stand as the pillars of our existence.

The fascination with electricity stems from a long history of inquiry and experimentation. Electricity can cause movement, either directly or indirectly, and can manifest as a pulse or sound. But can we actually hear electrical charges as an energy source? How does electrical charge work within the human body, and what impact does it have on us? The interplay between magnetism and electricity also raises questions: are they complementary to each other, or not? And how does movement arise from these forces? These are the questions and experiments that have led to this installation.
Electricity and gravity are connected to each other; they exist both within and outside our bodies. Perhaps they influence each other like a kind of Yin and Yang, two opposing forces in an eternal dance. There might even be a link to the proportions of the Fibonacci sequence or the golden ratio, which can be observed throughout nature. In this work, I aim to reveal the effects of invisible energy, both visually and audibly. By applying tension to copper, movement and sound are created without anything physically moving or making noise. The tension sparks action in the work, much like impulses direct and connect the body. This artwork seeks to expose the magic of electricity, the hidden charges that shape both our world and ourselves
“BlackMass” is a compelling art object, composed of 21×8 magnets that speak to the raw and primal forces of the universe. This piece merges the tangible and the abstract, inviting viewers to consider the invisible energies that govern our world. Each magnet serves not only as a functional element but also as a metaphor for the unseen forces that connect and repel, akin to the fundamental forces of nature that bind matter together.
The work’s name, “BlackMass,” evokes images of darkness and mystery, hinting at something ancient and profound. It suggests a dense, enigmatic presence—an embodiment of both physical and metaphysical power. The magnets, with their intrinsic ability to attract and repel, are a powerful representation of duality, reflecting both unity and opposition.
In “BlackMass,” there is a palpable sense of the primal. The arrangement of the magnets seems almost ritualistic, as if channeling the energy of the cosmos into a single, coherent form. This art object feels alive with force, embodying a soul or essence that transcends its material composition. It draws the viewer into a dialogue about the nature of existence, the origins of matter, and the hidden powers that lie beneath the surface of what we can see.

PURE, de Kracht van Verbinding In deze installatie verken en onderzoek ik de fascinerende wereld van magnetisme, elektriciteit en het hart – drie elementen die ons dagelijks leven doordringen, vaak zonder dat we het beseffen. Magnetisme: Een onzichtbare kracht die onze wereld vormgeeft, van de kompasnaald die ons leidt tot de ongrijpbare aantrekkingskracht tussen mensen. Het staat symbool voor de verborgen krachten die ons verbinden, zelfs op afstand. Magnetisme is ook de basis waarmee we elektriciteit opwekken en is in wezen ook de basis van ons bestaan. Elektriciteit: De energie die onze moderne wereld aandrijft, die licht brengt in de duisternis en beweging creëert uit stilstand. Het staat voor de dynamische en vaak onzichtbare stromen die ons omringen en ons in staat stellen te communiceren en te creëren. De bron van de levensenergie, de verbinder of het signaal tussen het brein en het lichaam. Hart: Het kloppende centrum van ons bestaan, bron van leven en emotie. Het hart symboliseert zowel de biologische als de emotionele energie die ons menselijk maakt, de ritmische puls die ons verbindt met onszelf en anderen. Door deze drie krachten samen te brengen in één kunstwerk, nodigt de installatie de toeschouwer uit om na te denken over de onderliggende verbindingen in ons leven. Het is een uitnodiging om stil te staan bij de onzichtbare maar voelbare energieën die ons verbinden en in beweging houden. Krachten die onzichtbaar zijn, maar essentieel voor het bestaan. Interactie: De installatie reageert op de aanwezigheid van de toeschouwer, waarbij de elektromagnetische velden subtiel veranderen op basis van nabijheid en beweging. Dit creëert een unieke ervaring waarin de bezoeker een actieve deelnemer wordt, zich bewust van de eigen invloed op het kunstwerk en de omgeving.
