This series was inspired by my sailing trips around East Indonesia, from the enchanting shores of Tanimbar to the rugged landscapes of West Papua. These voyages, undertaken during the tumultuous onset of the pandemic in 2020, became the catalyst for my series “Voyages”. These themes, interwoven with threads of cultural exchange and historical intrigue, reflect the rich tapestry of oceanic cultures past and present.
Repeating patterns, a misty haze, print and collage, hold the pieces together. Voyagers shows the journey of our imagination when we are thinking about sea voyagers. Images come to mind and wander off again, randomly switching between past and present. The idea of voyage forges fascinating connections of land and seas, people and culture. Adventures become our memories.
