Title: Sometimes You See It, Sometimes You Don’t
Commission for a two-year installation, Sculpture Garden, LUMC, Leiden, NL

Commissioned by Sandrine van Noort, Art Affairs LUMC

Sometimes You See It, Sometimes You Don’t is a large-scale, site-specific installation created for the sculpture garden of the LUMC. The work consists of six translucent mesh figures, each approximately eight meters in length, I have produced them directly on site. 

Installed in a stepped sequence from lower to higher levels, the figures form a subtle ascending structure suggesting a ladder-like movement through the garden’s architectural void. Their transparent material allows light and air to pass through, causing the bodies to appear and dissolve depending on perspective and shifting daylight.

Developed in response to the atmosphere of the hospital environment, the installation engages themes of vulnerability and resilience, weight and lightness. It creates a spatial experience in which the viewer becomes aware of the relationship between body and architecture, between the tangible and the immaterial between what is physically present and what remains perceptible yet fleeting.
