I’m deeply honoured to share my permanent sculpture 'Concentric Spheres' at Groot Deunk.

The stunning visuals you see were captured by the amazing

Concentric Spheres is a commissioned art project by Groot Deunk foundation. I created this work as a space for reflection and contemplation. Inspired by the area's rich history, its natural surroundings, and my own memories, I designed glass spheres that symbolize dreams and geological layers of time.

This project was made possible thanks to the incredible support of the Mondriaan Fund, the Province of Gelderland, and the Municipality of Aalten.

And a heartfelt thank you to all the volunteers of Stichting Groot Deunk, your dedication and energy brought this project to life.
