“ik zie je hart, hard zijn voor jezelf”
“i see your heart, being hard on you”
are you longing for safety?
is it safer to hide away than to be seen?
the essence of my work is to bring you closer to yourself
to provide you the time to be able to sit with your discomfort and find ways to comfort yourself
we can be so hard on ourselves that we want to hide from the world and even from ourselves
what is it that really wants to be seen?
from the beginning HARDT had the intention to protect you
by making the idea into a physical sculpture, HARDT turned out to be an illusion
it is better to be seen than to hide
