Cement

30x40 cm prints from digital files

A series of large prints celebrating one of humanity's unsung heroes—cement—often condemned as one of the most frowned-upon materials in terms of sustainability. This series doesn't encourage reckless building but invites reflection on how we can preserve, care for, and cherish what has already been built. It challenges us to reshape, re-evaluate, and view things from a different perspective.

All images were created in the studio with compacted cement powder and shapes impressed onto it—a metaphorical approach to show the material's versatility. Ultimately, it’s how we use things, rather than the things themselves, that determines whether they are attractive or repulsive, beneficial or harmful.

Clara Peeters, Still-life, 1611, 52 x 73 cm, Madrid, Museo Nacional del Prado

This genre was easy for a woman to practice because it did not need knowledge of human anatomy. This painting shows a table set with flowers, dried fruits, nuts, wine, biscuits and other objects. 

There are several tiny self portraits of the artist inside this painting, reflected on two of the objects on the table.One of them, the center of the goblet and on the pitcher, next to the reflection of the window there's one tiny self portrait at the bottom and another further up.
