Lullaby For Depressed River Mussels
MIARD, Rotterdam, 2024
The sound installation project, based on research, aims to create a lullaby for the endangered Depressed River Mussel. Human intervention and water regulation in the Biesbosch National Park, combined with noise pollution from ferries and motor vehicles, greatly affect freshwater mussels, which depend on clean, oxygenated water and stable sandy beds.
Research shows they are highly sensitive to anthropogenic noise, with low-frequency sounds causing stress, though they respond positively to natural sound. The installation uses hydrophone recordings of ferry noise and crushed mussel shells, combined with a sung folk lullaby, to create a poetic, ASMR-inspired experience. Sensory buttons made from latex shell casts trigger sound changes via Arduino, played through waterproof speakers hidden in 3D-printed shell boxes. A hydrophone allows to engage with the mussels' perspective, exploring a speculative experience.
Opacity of packaged foam
The Opacity project explores the tension between the idealized image of the beach in mass tourism and its unpredictable, chaotic elements. Using sea foam as a central motif, it opens a space for speculating about alternative relationships between humans and nature.
Drawing on Édouard Glissant's concept of opacity (the idea of accepting complexity without the need for full understanding), sea foam becomes a metaphor for resistance to homogenization and domination. Its ephemeral, unpredictable presence challenges standardized narratives of beaches as spaces of carefree relaxation and detachment, exposing their deeper entanglement with mechanisms of control, commercialization, and escapism.
The installation integrates organic and technological elements: agar, sea foam, cables, sensors, and microcontrollers, creating a living, reactive environment. Foam, both material and metaphorical, plays an active narrative role, distorting the sound of a summer song. Through this auditory distortion, the work underscores the constant unpredictability of natural forces, opening a space for speculative futures where human-nature relationships are reimagined beyond the confines of consumerist utopias.

State of defence
The Concept of Prosthetics
>concept presentation
The project investigates the defensive and protective behaviors of creatures and elements within the Biesbosch National Park, emphasizing their interactions with space and other beings. Drawing inspiration from moles, earthworms, nettles, rose thorns, and river mussels, the work explores how these organisms develop natural barriers between their bodies and the environment.
Using 3D printing and digital modeling, I reimagined their forms—duplicating thorns, modeling mole tunnels, and creating clusters of earthworms. These objects were conceived as prostheses, extensions of the body, or protective armor. The project invites reflection on the connections between human and non-human beings: what can we learn from their protective strategies, and how might we adopt these natural defenses as prosthetic devices or connectors between bodies?
The Tunnels Do Not Echo
*Therapeutic incubation (enkoimesis) was a multifaceted religious phenomenon in Ancient Greece and a widespread practice based upon a deliberate act of sleeping and dreaming in sanctuaries dedicated to the god Asklepio - the father of the goddess Hygiene (Health).
