What happens when the sacred meets the everyday? I present a series of sculptures that explore the intersection of religion, technology and contemporary culture.
One of the central pieces is ‘Geef ons heden ons dagelijks brood’: a sculptural triptych made from pressed aluminium takeaway trays. Familiar and disposable, these trays become vessels for something more enduring. Folded praying hands frame the sides, while the center holds a lamb and the phrase “Give us this day our daily bread.” Together, they reflect on faith, ritual, and what we consume – physically, culturally, and spiritually.
Another key work is a large wooden relief sculpture, carved in the style of traditional church ornamentation. Two angels kneel beneath a watermark-like surface, while a single hand presents a retro phone with a confession sent by text. This merge private faith with modern communication.
I’m also showing a lava lamp sculpture – once nostalgic, now used to secure data servers – recast as a fragile guardian in our digital world. Alongside this are ‘Fragmented Sanctity’, a glitched Madonna, and ‘Aspect’, a stretched religious figure distorted like early widescreen television images. These works explore how the sacred is preserved, reshaped, or lost in translation.
