Graduation Project – Sint Lucas Antwerp, Master in Visual Arts (Socio-Political Context), 2025
Shifting Landscapes (5’) is a sensory installation and short film that explores fragmented heritage and bodily memory. Rooted in ancestral ties to Gran Canaria, Ukraine, and Greece, the work reflects on identity, loss, and the desire for reconnection.
Created within a socio-political context, this project approaches the personal as inherently political. It proposes that reconnecting with one’s origins involves transcending national borders, resisting abstraction, and reactivating shared memory through the body.
Using clay, soil, charcoal, voice, and video, the work invites viewers into a tactile and emotional landscape. Bodily gestures, layered imagery, and raw textures form an intuitive language — one that resists linear storytelling in favor of sensory experience.
The installation embraces slowness, softness, and embodied presence — encouraging the audience not only to observe, but to feel.
