During my residency at het Labo, I used the time and space to explore different approaches and materials, as well as the possibilities of installing artworks for short periods of time, both for installation and for exhibition.

The gallery's location was crucial, as it features multiple east- and southwest-facing windows. These coordinates allowed me to observe the projections of each window around the gallery -on the floor, walls, and ceiling, throughout the day and experience the subtleties that this work carries. Its excilirating in its sporadic appearances but also awakens the humbling manifestation of life's impermanence.

In the east-facing window, I placed several lighting filters between the panes, similar to previous installations. For the southwest-facing window, instead of gluing glass ovals directly to the glass, I used a glass oval as a template to outline several ovals with silicone. I then added decorative film ovals that appeared to float around the outlines. The addition of green ovals created a striking contrast, resulting in a bold and fluid composition. Due to time constraints and necessity, the approach of the southwest window proved to be an effective solution for quick installations and time-limited projects.

I'm constantly fascinated by the projections created by these window installations. They transform from two-dimensional works into three-dimensional experiences as light passes through them. These projections change not only with the passage of time but are also affected by the surrounding light conditions.
