I open and I pass on.






GRADUATION ROYAL ACADEMY OF ART THE HAGUEJuly 2023
The size of the paper of these drawings is 3x4 meter. 
The drawings are attached on the galery doors and those are connecting doors to another gallery.  

The houses are opposite and complementary to each other.
One is deep, the other shallow.
One with an open top, the other one closed.
An open left door, an open right door.
One has a layered top, the other a layered body.

Black and white together as opposites make grey.
Grey is the ultimate color of balance.
The house is symbol to your world.
The uniqueness of people is beautiful but also very mysterious.

Every person has their own (sub)consciousness, their own home.
You can never enter someone else's and never welcome somebody into yours.

I drew these with my left hand, although I am originally right-handed. With oil pastel. The folded houses are made of blank newsprint paper. Its soft and thin paper with a light grey color. Their size is app. 15 cm high.
