When Big Brother is Watching, Little Sister creates her own utopia!

She does that by displaying a collection of dear objects and photomanipulations in a modern cabinet of curiosities. In these photomanipulations images are mixed into new worlds to wonder about.
With clear digital photoframes and symbolism these images build a bridge between previous
grandeur, its decline and contemporary comfort.
Man and its environment play here an important role. The hunted times in which we live, in which
by modern resources the outside world is always near, does yearn for other worlds and times.
Not only the own experience is very visible to the outside also reversed outside impressions sometimes come uninvited inward. The cabinet offers you a moment to be private with a thought or image.

‘There are pictures and there are windows, you create windows.
I want to look inside them to see what else there is.
‘ My thoughts and dreams
are like the wind,
free...
as a child...
without knowledge of boundries
nor constrictions....‘
