In this physical thing you have in your hands made out of paper and ink from trees and plants filled with words, I describe my search to reconnect with my surroundings. I want to try and find out what defines humans' relationship to the natural world, how it got demolished, and how I myself can reconnect. This reconnecting serves as an inspiration to live and to create. The alternative ways of acting, thinking, and feeling that I will find are gonna influence my way of communicating, my work; my artistic practice. I hope to inspire others to start a process of reconnecting as well. To live as sensuous beings; humans, animals. Thesis master Artistic Research, KABK The Hague.
