I am a designer and media artist based in Rotterdam, interested in the tensions between meaning & market / purpose & profit / existentialism & escapism. In my practice I combine found footage, critical theory and digital tools to translate my research into engaging audiovisual works, which function as temporary worlds for broad audiences to explore and reflect on media, consumerism and the Self.
